where are daqmx files stored on real time target?

Solved!

Hi,

 

I am working on an application that will be embedded in a RT desktop target.  To make the system easier to maintain in the future, I would like to be able to generate a DAQmx task programatically from the *.ini file exported from MAX.  This way, users don't have to know what my code is doing in order to recalibrate sensors or manage new hardware; they only have to know how to use MAX and where to store the config files on the target. 

 

Where are daqmx task, channel, and scale information stored on a RT target?  I've been through the files on the target looking for something that contains my task data but have found nothing, though dropping a system property node into a VI running on the target will give a correct list of the tasks that I have configured.  (The project that contains the aforementioned VI does not have the tasks in it ie: I did not import them to the project.)

 

Is there a utility that will run on the RT target that can generate a task at run time from the exported *.ini files?

 

Thanks

Exahustive keyword searching brought me to an answer on the forums.  I'll post a brief summary here in case anyone else uses the same keywords as I have.

 

1.  Export config file from MAX

2.  Write a VI that uses the tools in the System Management pallette to upload the configuration to the real-time target.

3.  Profit.

 

In my case, the VI I wrote to upload the DAQmx config also generates the config files for the VIs on the host and target side, so everybody knows what the tasks are called.
