Overview
Sometimes a user simply wants to see the output of a DAQ devices and is uninterested in logging that data or getting specific values. In this case it's appropriate to simply launch a MAX test panel to quickly look at what a DAQ card can do.
Description:
This VI will allow a user to launch a MAX test panel from the command line. This example is inspired from this Knowledge Base Article: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9B628A8B1B13136F86256DDB0004DE4D
Steps to implement or execute code
To implement this example:
