Read / Write a MAX .daq configuration file?

How can I read or write a .daq configuration file programmatically ?(channel names, range, units, etc.)

And/Or:

Does anyone know the internal structure of a .daq file? Is it documented?

Thanks.

Michel,
The .daq file, where all the MAX information gets stored, is in binary format. You will have a hard time decoding it LabVIEW.
However, you can use some DAQ VIs to get this information.
Under Data Acquisition>>Calibration and Configuration>>DAQ Channel Utilities palette, use the following VIs:
Get DAQ Channel Name
Get Channel Information
Get Scale Information

Thanks for the info.
I am still interested in the description of the .daq files internal structure, if someone has it.

Michel.
