DAQmx Task Recovery

[arhangel123]

Due to failed hard drive I need to migrate un-exported DAQmx tasks from one computer to another. Due to the same issue with hard drive I cannot open DAQmx and export these tasks - windows based system is down.

Does anyone know where DAQmx keeps its tasks? What files does it use to store the tasks by default?

I can recreate them on the new computer. I just need to know what they are, what cards and IOs they use.

Hello arhangel123.

I believe the information you're looking for can be found in this KnowledgeBase article:

KnowledgeBase 4GA9TOQA: What is the Process For Resetting the MAX Database?

https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P8awSAC&l=en-US

The latter part of the document is written to step you through manually deleting the database - don't actually.follow the procedure outlined there, but it does identify the relevant files/folders which I think is what you're looking for.

Thank you. That worked exactly as it should.
