Hello,
Thanks for posting to the NI Discussion Forums. The channel name attribute is one of the custom waveform attributes added by the DAQ driver software. In addition to these items added by DAQ, it seems as though any custom attribute added to the waveform is not sent with the shared variable. I have sent notice to R&D to take a look at this problem (issue 3VQEIA3A), but I do not have any sort of timeline on when/what will come of this. For now, it looks like you will have to send any data about the waveform over to the Windows client machine separately. For example, you could create a new variable of 2-D string data where you would populate the array with <key,value> pairs of the waveform data you are concerned with. If you were interested in how to extract the channel name from the waveform, or any of the other properties set by the DAQ software check out the “details” in the context help for the “set waveform attribute” VI.
Hope this helps!
