Problems saving a DAQ task in Labview and running elsewhere

[katho]

I am attempting to use DAQmx Save Task.vi in LabView to save a simple signal generation task, so I can open it later / elsewhere. The problem I am having, though, is when I attempt to open the task in MAX. The task is brought into MAX, but when I attempt to run the task error -200552 occurs at DAQ Assistant.

Error -200552 occurred at DAQ Assistant

Possible Reason(s):

Specified string is not valid, because it contains an invalid character.

Position of Invalid Character: 4
Invalid String: Dev1/port0/line0

It looks as though the problem has to do with the '/' character, but I am not sure how to create an output line in LabView that does not include the '/' character. Is there anyway around this problem in either LabView or in MAX?

I have attached my LabView program. Thank you for your help and patience.

Where is your program where you are trying to run the task? I don't understand what an existing task has to do with the DAQ Assistant. You would simply have to wire the task to a DAQmx Write.

I am just attempting to import the task into Measurement and Automation Explorer and run it from there. Then I attempt to run it there, I am getting this error message.

Okay, I understand now.

Wire something to the 'name to assign'. It is choking on that.
