I'm writing a Labveiw program which has some digital inputs and outputs and some analog. I have a card in my machine which has some digital, but no analog. This was ok up until now because I hadn't implemented the part of the program that needed to aqire data from the analog input, but now I put them in and since I don't actually have any hardware my program won't run.
The way I'm trying to do this is using a DAQmx Read, then when I eventually want to use the program all I will have to do is change the task/channel wired to each DAQmx read or write to map the hardware channels to my controls. While I develop though, I don't currently care what those are mapped to or what the read, I just need the program to run. So all my digital outputs I just have mapped to the same channel basically, but is there anything I can do about the analog inputs to fool labview into thinking an analog channel actually exists?
what do people normally do when writing a program for some hardware they don't yet have?
