Virtual Channel with RT system

[hrobitaille]

I have configured many virtual channel on a RT system with the "Remote DAQ configuration" menu from MAX (I am not sure of the menu name because I am using the french version).
Now I would copy all these virtual channel on the host system as virtual channel on a remote device. Is there a way to do this automaticaly ?

If I try to create manually the virtual channel for the remote device, there is too a new virtual channel in the Remote DAQ configuration. As I want to use the same name for the remote device and for the remote DAQ configuration, I have 2 virtual channel with the same name in the remote DAQ configuration.

A solution will be to suppress all the virtual channel from the remote DAQ configuration and to recreate the virtual
channel on remote device from the "My System" folder. But in this case I will lose my work (I have more than 100 virtual channel).

Thanks for your help

Well there are few ways you can see the remote virtual channels on your host PC. First of all, in LabVIEW after you target the RT Engine the virtual channels should show up under the channel controls. Also if you add the devices on your PXI chassis using RDA the virtual channels should show up under Data Neigborhood.

It may be that I don't understand your question fully, but do you mean that you want to set up a Windows machine to have the same virtual channel configuration as the the remote device (the RT Engine)?

Yes, I would have the same virtual channel configuration on the Windows machine as on the remote RT Engine.
With the virtual channel configuration on the Windows machine, I can use the "Test" button (from MAX) which is an easy and very quick way to verify that the channel is working.

In fact, as you mentionned in your answer, I just need to create a RDA device in the "Device and Interface" folder, and automatically all the virtual channels configured on this remote device are "imported" under the "Data Neigborhood" folder.
I didn't see this functionnality in my first test because I had created the Remote Device entry before I created the virtual channel on this device.

Great...it sounds like you are on your way...is that what you wanted to do - test the virtual channels using test panels?
