How can I get an invidivual Virtual Channel name without having to pick through an array of all channels?

[uscmagz]

I see "Get DAQ Channel Names.VI" and "Get Channel Information.VI" but I just want to get the name of just channel 0, or just channel 1. Is using an array of all channel names the only way I can do this?

I have Labview 6.1.

THANKS!!!

Lauren,

Yes, currently that is the best way to go about accomplishing that. I attached a little VI that demonstrates a very basic way of finding the first virtual channel that uses device channel 1.
