Hi,
The name of the task that you see when probing "Task Out" is in fact the unique identifier for the task, which is effectively a string rather than a number. This is the name of the task is assigned in Measurement and Automation explorer. If you are creating a new channel within a VI, LabVIEW will generate the name of the task for you automatically. All task names are unique.
Hope this helps,
Regards
