tasks

Is there a way to allow an operator to build a task from the application?

What kind of task are you talking about and what application are you using?

In LV 8.6.1 you use MAX to build task so that your program can acquire data and process it. What i'm talking about is when you make an exe. or application using application builder now I want the operator to be able to build a task from the exe. I looked a global virtual channels but it seems that you can only make one channel at a time. This would not work in multi channel DAQ?

LabVIEW 8.6 has options to store tasks created in LabVIEW into MAX.

Whether or not you have an exe, as long as you have MAX installed, you can create a task there. If you want a LabVIEW program to be able to create a task, it does not matter whether it is an exe or not. You have to write specific code to define and create tasks. I have little experience with globabl channels but it seems to me that all you would have to do is call DAQmx Save Global Channel for each channel you have defined in a multi-channel task.

I think I have a solution. install MAX on the machine being used and use the task property nodes to determine how many displays ect to show on the front panel based on the number of channels in the task. The task property nodes seem quite useful for this sort of thing.
