Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
 
What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

Thank you for you reply...

and I have a new question...

If I want to save "only some specific channels" to a text file, say Channel 1~10 of each PXI-6070E, is it really possible to do that directly(without using an array)?

What do you mean by 'directly'? There is no built in file save function that will do this but since mult-channel data is an array to start with, it's pretty simple to implement with the built-in array functions.
