NI MAX Tasks and Terminal Configuration

[diarmaede]

Hi All,

Gumby question here, but I've never spent much time setting up tasks before.

When I setup a NI-DAQmx Analog Input task in NI MAX, I don't see any way to set the terminal configuration to differential input. How does the system deal with terminal configuration if it is not specifically called out?

Thanks in advance.

I assume you know about DAQmx, which has functions to do such things as set sampling parameters and configure inputs.  The Create Channel function, shown here, lets you configure the terminals (here as Differential) and also the A/D range (here 0 to 10 v).DAQmx Create Channel

Since you specifically asked about MAX, yes you can set the terminal configuration in it.

Ah!  Okay.  I had the "Details" expanded on the channel settings field, so the Terminal Configuration options were not visible in NI MAX. Hey... it was late and I wasn't thinking clearly.

Thanks for the help!
