get DAQmx tasks parameters

[Mackemann]

I've created in MAX 4.0 some DAQmx tasks to control diferent digital outputs bits (I attach a picture of it). I have to develop a TestStand step type with LabVIEW 7.1 in edit mode able to select any of this predefined tasks and show the bits correspondence (following the picture it would be for example "DigitaOut4 -> Dev1/por0/line2"). Is there some method to get all those parameters? Does somebody has a small example? Thanks in advance.

You can get all of this information from DAQmx property nodes. I wrote a quick example and there are probably more on either the LabVIEW or DAQ boards.

Hi Dennis, that was a big help. Just a second question relating this item. The method "DAQmx System Property" lists all the tasks and doesn't make differences between digital input task or digital output task. Is there some method able to get information?

Thanks in advance!

Hi again

    I've just found the property I was looking for. It's Channel Type inside the DAQmx Channel Properties.

Thanks anyway
