how to make a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx ?

I want to measure the CJC temperature on the TBX 1328 ( attached to SCXI 1121). I want to create a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx. I have right clicked on DAQmx but there is no option for virtual channel. Ther is the option of 'Traditional virtual channel' which i dont want.

I used the VI to make the virtual channel but i want to knowhow to doit inMAX.

Here are 2 ways that you can create a DAQmx channel that appears in MAX.

1) In MAX, right click on "Data Neighborhood" and select "Create New...". Then click "NI-DAQmx Global Channel" (or "NI-DAQmx Task" -- a task contains the channel(s) and triggering/timing information) and click "Next". This launches the DAQ Assistant that will guide you in creating the channel or task.

2) In LV, place a NI-DAQmx Global Channel control on your panel or constant on your diagram. Right click on the control/constant and select "New Channel(DAQ Assistant)..." (Note: You can do the same from the NI-DAQmx Task control/constant to create a NI-DAQmx Task.)
