I'm have a Labview 2009 project that contains an existing data acquisition task that includes several analog inputs from a cDAQ1 device. I'm working on the Labview software, but don't currently have the hardware available. I need to add an addition channel to this task, but without having the physical hardware connected.
When I attempt to do this in Labview 2009, using DAQ Assistant, the analog channel that I want to add is not displayed as an option to select. The missing hardware shows (cDAQ1), up in the existing task, and is listed in MAX with a red x next to it because its not connected. I have a separate task that used simulated channels, so I'm not asking about simulated hardware.
I attempted to export the projects DAQ configuration file, edit it, then import it back into the project, but I get an error dialog box when I attempt to do this, Error -201064 occurred at _DAQmxImportConfig.vi", Configuration file is missing the required header fields". I didn't remove any header fields, but I've had problems with DAQ Import before because of the different file formats for exported files, (see forums under Error -201064). Unfortunately, the Labview Projects differ from MAX in that it only provides a "text, .txt" export format and that's a problem for importing.
******************
Nevermind. I figure out if I manually select the ".ini" file time under Export, (.txt is the default), THEN Export will write to a different format and as long as I edit it correctly, I can then import it back into the project.
