Missing reference to DAQmx task

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I have just inherite undocumented code from an engineer that has left the company.

 

We are using a USB-6008 to control a stepper motor and take some analog readings

 

The DAQmx tasks have been given genuinely useful names such as 'DO 0', assume this is Digital Out 0.  However when I look at the device tasks, 'DO 0' is not present.

 

The program crashes and complains of an error.

 

Is there something I am missing here?  Is there another way that a string such 'DO 0' culd be related to a DAQmx task?

 

Rgds,

Seán

OK, I had a legacy project open. 

 

The virtual channels are in the new project.  I was looking everywhere on MAX but it was in the correct project all along.
