Selecting channels with a Boolean control

[RL69]

I want to have a list of Boolean controls that represent each of the channels for a particular module. I have it so that the program will combine everything, just if you deselect any of the channels out of order it will not correct the channel string. IE with channels 0 through 5 selected I get cDAQ1Mod1/ai0:4, if Channel 2 is deselected I get cDAQ1Mod1/ai0:3. I need it to send out cDAQ1Mod1/ai0, cDAQ1Mod1/ai2:4. I am using a cDAQ-9172  4 bay Chassis with Labview 17. Here is a copy of the test program that will get put into the main program later when the problem is fixed. Thanks in advance.

I can't see your VI (I'm on LV 2016), but I would just ditch the colon syntax. This will be much easier to code up than trying to figure out how many channels in a row are selected.

So Channels 0 to 2 would be:

Mod/ai0, Mod/ai1, Mod/ai2

Channels 0 and 2 would be:

Mod/ai0, Mod/ai2

Dig into the DAQmx->DAQmx Advanced->DAQmx Utilities palette.  There is a nice function in there for you: DAQmx Flatten Channel String.  The idea is that you build up an array of your channels and pass the array into that function and out will come a string that gives you what you want.

I think that this will work. could you please send me this as a vi. I am still relativity new to LabView. I cannot quite figure out how to get everything you have into my program. Thank you.

That image is a snippet.  Save that image to your computer and then drag it onto your block diagram.  Instant code!

Works Great, Thank you, big help.
