Hi,
I need to measure loadcells. I've defined the task in Measurement and Automation Explorer. When I run the task in MAX, it works and all the loadcells give signal. But I cannot use the task in labview because it doesn't find any configured DAQmx task so I cannot save the output.
Thanks

You've managed to confuse me.
You have a Task saved in MAX that runs. What are you doing to try to use that task from LabVIEW? It should be as simple as drop a Task Constant select the task and generate configuration and example

I've even tried to define a new task in labview but the channels are not recognized.

It looks like you have a remote system. Remote data acquisition is not supported in DAQmx. You can, however, use DAQmx with an OPC server or shared network variables. See these links:

Here's a forum post with a similar issue, the solution is helpful.
