Get handle to existing task defined in MAX

[rhoward99]

LabVIEW 8.2.1 installed

NI-DAQmx 8.5 installed

Measurement Studio Not installed

Using C# .Net, is there a method for obtaining a handle to a task which has already been defined in the Measurement and Automation explorer (MAX)?

It seems like a lot of duplicated effort to programatically redefine a task that has already been defined.

Thanks!

Hi Rick,

There is a DaqSystem Class that contains methods that allow you to access tasks, scales, and global channels stored in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).  If you wanted to load a task from MAX in C#, you could say:

Task

t = DaqSystem.Local.LoadTask("mySavedTaskName");

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Thanks!  That's exactly what I was looking for!
