Is it possible to create a list of NI-DAQmx tasks used in a VI in LV7.1?

[Vash-HT]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a built in function for Labview 7.1 that would allow me to generate a list of DAQmx tasks or global channels that are being used in the VI.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes. You can use the DAQmx System property node. A property node with this class is on the DAQmx>DAQmx Advanced>System Setup palette. There are properties for Tasks and for Globabl Channels.

Welcome to the Discussion Forums, Steve!

Since I’m a visual person, I wanted to make it clear where these properties are found by posting a picture.

 

I also wanted to clarify and say that these properties show the global channels and tasks saved on your system. They do not indicate which are used by a specific VI. This is because global channels are not bound to any particular VI. Any indicator you could include in your VI would just return the names that are being assigned as inputs. So the best way to know what’s being used in your VI is to look at what the inputs are.

I hope this helps. If this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, will you please post again and clarify your application?
