Saving Your Configuration

You can save your task or global virtual channel configuration to MAX in several ways, depending on how you launched the DAQ Assistant. To save your configuration, do the following:

• MAX—Click Save on the toolbar. You also can check for errors in your task by clicking Save. If your task has an error, a dialog box appears. Click No in the dialog box to cancel the save and show the error(s).
• LabVIEW—Click OK.

  Note  If you configure a task using the DAQ Assistant Express VI, the task is local to the application and cannot be saved to MAX for use in other applications. You must convert the DAQ Assistant Express VI to an NI-DAQmx Task to save the task to MAX for use in other applications or to generate code.

• LabWindows/CVI—Click OK.
• Measurement Studio—Select File»Save.

You can access saved global virtual channels and tasks in Data Neighborhood in MAX or in your NI application software.

Note  You cannot save a global virtual channel or a task to MAX with LabVIEW SignalExpress.
