DAQmx input terminal configuration and sample mode choice

[oly]

Hi,

I am studying "Timing and Synchronization Features of NI-DAQmx" from the following link,

 http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4322 

Could anyone tell me in Figure 2, how to do input terminal configuration in the "DAQmx creat virtual channel" part? Shoud I just double click on the icon to change it? Or there is some way that I can show it in the block diagram like the sample mode in the DAQmx part?

One more question, in the DAQmx timing part, how can I put "Continous Samples" there? Is it from the function pallette? Thank you.

No, you do not double click on the icon to change it. To answer both questions, just right click on the terminal and select 'Create>Constant'.

This is LabVIEW basics. I would recomend you study that here before you start experimenting with DAQmx.

You just right click on the terminal and select Create constant. You will get an constant on your BD with the appropiat type. Guess this covers 90% of yopur question. But, keep comin'.

Thumbs up to Dennis and Schubert!

I am going through the LabView training in the mean time.
