daq channel name constant

[steve321]

Hello,

I'm using LABVIEW 6.1 on a computer that does not have a DAQ card
installed.  I would like to create a listbox that allows selection of
multiple DAQ channels.  My problem is that the AI Group Config.vi
requires a DAQ Channel IO data type which is neither a string nor an
Integer.  I tried to use the DAQ channel name constant, however I
wasn't able to enter a value for the constant. This problem may be
caused by the DAQ card not being installed.

Therefore, my question is that if I had the DAQ card installed, would
the DAQ Channel Name Constant allow me to enter a value?

Thanks,
Steve

I believe you can at least type a name into the control/constant if you right click on it and select "Allow Undefined Names". Then just double click in the control and start typing.
