Hi Lauren, You can programmatically make changes to channels and tasks in LabVIEW using the DAQmx channel and task property nodes. Not that these changes apply to the channels and tasks while they are in use by the VI, but do not permanently change the original channel or task saved in the MAX configuration file. The same functionality applies to NI-DAQmx scales. Additionally, you can export these global channels from MAX by going to the <b>File=BBExport</b>.
You also can create global channels and tasks to be saved in MAX by using the DAQmx Global Channel control or DAQmx Task Name control in LabVIEW. Refer to the Taking an NI-DAQmx Measurement in LabVIEW help tutorial for a step-by-step guide to using the DAQmx Task Name control to create a task and generating code from the task. You can open the tutorial from the LabVIEW Help menu by going to <b>Help=BBTaking an NI-DAQmx Measurement</b>. Hope this helps! Kileen C. Applications Engineer National Instruments
