channel parameter

[kdm7]

How do you find out what parameter has been selected in DAQ. Suppose input current, temperature, output voltage are selected as the 3 parameters in the 3 channels, how do you find out which channel is which parameter in the program?

Hi kdm,

when you wrote that VI you should know all those parameters…

Could you provide more details to your question?

Hi Gerd,

I am actually documenting a program and I cant find out how a particular channel contains the particular parameter. Is there a way where I can find out what parameters the programmer chose? 

[GerdW]

Hi kdm7,

you need to look for the initialization of those channels!

Are they initialized in the VI or is the VI relying on some channels/tasks defined in MAX?

You may find information also in the project for that program. (Suppose the programmer did use LV projects…)

Anyway: Hit the programmer with a big club to get more/better documentation! 😄

Hi GerdW,

Channels are defined using daqmx and there is no device connected for me to check.

Hi kdm,

when you see all the init functions in your VI what other information do you need then?

Hi GerdW,

Okay Thanks.

I got to know.

.. and yes! I will surely hit the programmer with a club to get better documentation!
