I apologize for the delay. I just saw this posting as a link from a more recent posting. Probably you're long past this problem in your programming, however I'd like to post a simple answer for the record for anyone else who sees the posting....
If you've already configured your DAQmx channels in MAX it is very simple to get started in LV. Simply drop a DAQmx Channel control on your front panel, select one of your channels, then right click on the control and select "Generate Code > Example" This causes example code to be generated on your diagram that matches your configuration. Then run the VI.
BTW, if you think you may be sampling all 288 thermocouples at one time, you may want to create a task to contain all of the channels. You can do this in MAX. Then in LV
, drop a DAQmx Task control, select your task in the control, and again right click on the control and select "Generate Code > Example" to generate the code to read the channels in the task.
