automate channel creation in max

[BryanL]

Hello All, I searched this topic in this forum and didnt get any previous post. I was wondering if this is possible:

I would like to write a VI to automatically settup virtual channels and tasks in MAX, instead of manually set these up in MAX.  So this VI can interact with MAX or write to its configuration file. I dont want to "create channels and tasks" in my main application VI. My application will pick up those channels or tasks from MAX at run time.

I would appreciate your advice on how to achieve this. Thanks!

Take a look at this palette:

Measurement I/O >> NI-DAQmx >> Advanced  >> System Setup >>  Storage

(Yes it's a little deep)  But there are functions there to save the task to MAX called DAQmx Save Task.vi

Hi Ravens, excellent suggestion, thanks for pointing to those deep down utilities which all of us can benefit from.
