How to get "Browse" list of any DAQmx control in array form

[AlanArmstead]

manga is correct.  I wrote that VI with LabVIEW 7.0 and NI-DAQmx 8.0.  NI-DAQmx 8.0 is a free download, and you do not need LabVIEW 8.0 to take advantage of its new features. 

And as far as your question, you could modify the program I attached in my previous post and simply search those channels for the channel that was loaded from your config file.  Then, if you do not find a match, you could disable your control, or throw an error, etc.  If you look at the block diagram, you will notice that the property node will actually give you a list of the physical channel names.  I didn't print all of those names out to the user for simplicity, but they can certainly be used.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for correction Alan A. and Manga,  I have downloaded and installed NI-DAQmx from NI site. Now the life is much easier, as they've added many property nodes to facilitate the development.

I again say thanks to both of you to be kind enough to take out time and provide the soloution.

Bye Bye

Hi all-

As Alan mentioned you could also pull the channel names directly.  Check out my attachment for another demo of the new properties.
