Adding Multiple Channels to Tasks

For hardware that supports multiple physical channels in a task, you can select multiple channels to add to the task at the same time. To select particular physical channels, hold the <Ctrl> key while selecting the channels. To select a range of physical channels, click the first physical channel, then press and hold the <Shift> key, and select the last physical channel in the range. All physical channels between the two selections are highlighted.

You can also select multiple global virtual channels and any TEDS channels you have configured.

When you click the Add Channels button, a list of all channels of the same I/O type as your task appears. This list includes channels from all devices in your system. Unless your hardware supports multidevice tasks, you can add only channels from the same device to the task.

You can also create a task with multiple channels of different measurement types.
