Managing Hardware with the Channel View

The Channel View is a central location for viewing and configuring hardware and shared variables. You can use the Channel View to manage and configure hardware devices and channels and to acquire signals in LabVIEW SignalExpress.

In the Physical Channel column of the Channel View, click the plus sign next to a device name to view the physical channels of the device. Each channel and device appear with a checkbox in the Acquire column. Use the Acquire checkbox to specify whether to acquire data from the channel or device. When you place a checkmark in the Acquire checkbox, additional columns of measurement configuration options appear in the Channel View, and LabVIEW SignalExpress automatically places a data acquisition step in the Project View. LabVIEW SignalExpress configures the step to match the options you specify in the Channel View.

Note  You also can use the Properties window to configure channels or devices.
