Make an automatic script to import NI Max Tasks

[rberdomas]

Hi, 

We want to automatize importing the tasks to NI Max. Our idea is to use a ".bat" to do this work or a python script also would work for us. Has anyone have done it before?

Personally, I would not recommend defining DAQmx Tasks in NI MAX, rather it should be part of the application.

Any reason you do not want your application to create the task?

The reason is cause we are using this tasks on CANoe, and CANoe doesn't allow you to create or modify the NI MAX tasks. CANoe just loads a .dll file that NI MAX creates.

First time hearing such a use case.

Anyway, the DAQmx driver provides a set of APIs to save or delete Tasks that show up in NI MAX
