convert string to physical channel input

[Rodde]

Hi,

I am using a DAQcard USB6008 to read analog voltage signals. I have written a program which outputs a string containing the channels to which devices are attached. The program executes once, then stops acquisition of all channels and outputs the string containing the channels to which devices are attached, i.e. Dev1/ai0:ai2.

How can I convert the string to the I/O physical channel format, to be able to feed it into "DAQmx Create Channel "?

You don't have to convert the string. Just wire it directly to the physical channel input.

Hi, that is what I tried. It does not work. I cannot wire a string directly to the physical channel of create DAQmx  channel. Could you send me an example of how you are doing it?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Rodde

As I said, you just wire the string to the physical channel input. If you 'cannot wire a string', then you should post your code to see what might be wrong.
