DAQmx Task

[Neil_Helsel]

Another question for ya.

I have a DAQmx Task called "QuickCapture" on one computer that I need on another. How do I find this to recreate or transfer it? If you need more information let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Neil,

open MAX on your development computer and look for any DAQmx tasks in there…

(It's a bad habit to define DAQmxTasks (and other stuff) just in MAX, when you plan to port your program to a different computer…)

Under the File menu of MAX, you have the option to export the hardware configuration to a file. Do this, copy the file to the new pc and use the Import function.

Thanks for the tip. This is someone else's code that I'm trying to edit.

So there are no tasks on the computer that I want "QuickCapture" on.

Why would you expect any tasks on the new computer?

I'm not sure I understand Gerd's comment about a bad habit. Creating a task in MAX is pretty common. Including the tasks with an exe and using an installer is also common.

Hi Dennis,

it's a "bad" habit because people tend to forget to include those tasks with their exe/installer - as you see in this thread 😄

[Dennis_Knutson]

Well, I think the bad habit is people not RTFM but I see your point.

I didn't expect anything to be there. I was just trying to get on the same page with Gerd.
