programmatically call DAG configurations

[benegin]

Is there a way to programmatically from within LabView to set the predefined DAQ configuration file. I have various programs to run and each has a different configuration file? I would like the operator to be able to select the LabView program to run and not have to use Measurement and Automation program to set the current DAQ file.

Hi Benegin,

First, it's important to notice that there's a very big difference between Traditional DAQ and DAQmx, so the following recommendations are all for DAQmx.

With DAQmx, you can configure tasks, channels and scales. It is simple to let keep the configuration of for example a task as part of the VI using the "DAQmx Create Task.vi".

Also, here's an example that programmatically saves different types of the DAQ configuration:

Programmatic Saves of NI-DAQmx Tasks, Channels, and Scales Examples

Is that what you're looking for?

If not, please let us know what version of DAQ you are using and exactly what parts of the DAQ configuration you are interested in, thanks.
