DAQmx Task Name Filtering

NI-DAQmx Name Control

DAQmx Task Name Filtering

  • Control Type—Changes the control to a DAQmx global channel control.
  • Allow Undefined Names—Allows you to enter an arbitrary string, such as the name of a task you created programmatically rather than through MAX.
  • Show Invalid Names—Shows names of improperly configured tasks in the control. Common causes of an invalid task are not saving the task or removing the associated device from the system.
  • Include "New..." Option in Browse—Adds a Create New button to the Browse dialog box.
  • Project Filter—Select from Display All, Display Project Items, or Display MAX Items to list only those tasks created in LabVIEW Project, MAX, or both.
    Note  If you filter task names outside the context of a LabVIEW project, Display All and Display MAX Items only show tasks created in MAX. Display Project Items displays an empty list.

    If you filter task names within the context of a LabVIEW project, tasks created in MAX which share the same name as a project-based task will be disabled and appear grayed out in the list.
