Adding Virtual Channels to Tasks

You can add virtual channels to your task. Additional virtual channels must be of the same class, such as analog input or analog output, as the task. To add virtual channels to your task, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Add button.
2. From the drop-down list, select the measurement type to add.
3. A dialog box prompts you to select a physical channel from a list of valid physical channel(s) for that measurement type. Select the physical channels to add to your task. Alternatively, you can add existing global virtual channels or copy information from an existing global virtual channel to a local virtual channel.
4. Click OK.
5. Repeat these steps to add more virtual channels.
