Permit control over Simulated DAQ devices through MAX

[DeltaJ]

Hi All,

In my post on the LabVIEW board I asked if it was possible to have control over the DIO of a simualted DAQ device. Unfortunately it seems this feature is not available. Once MAX is closed the DIOs run through their own sequences.

If there was a non-blocking way to control a simulated DAQ device through MAX it would permit much simpler prototyping of systems before they need to be deployed to hardware. For example if you want to see how a program responds to a value change simply enter it in the non-blocking MAX UI. Or as in my original case can make an executable useable even if you don't have all the necessary hardware.

I think this feature should only be available for simulated devices.

Thanks for reading - and hopefully voting,

Dave

I'd say this idea is very similar to an existing idea on the Data Acquisition Idea Exchange.

Specify source of simulated device data

Both this idea and the one Ravens Fan linked are very similar to the below idea, which is currently the top kudoed idea in the DAQ Idea Exchange:
