DAQmxBase 2.1 Reset

[Vickie]

I am looking for a DAQmxBase Reset Device.vi in DAQmxBase 2.1 and can't locate it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hi Vickie,

The DAQmxBase Reset Device.vi is located in the functions pallette in LabVIEW in Measurement I/O>>DAQmx Base>>Dev Config.  A useful feature of the functions pallette is the search feature (button in the top right hand corner of the pallette).  Clicking on this gives you the ability to search for any function in the pallette as long as you know the name or portion of the name of the particular function.

Thanks Andrew,

It is right where you said it would be. Interestingly though, I have been looking at the exact same place and all I would see under DAQmx Base is: Read, Write, Start, Stop and Task Config/Ctrl. This is when I would open my VI through the project. If I open a blank VI, I see everything under DAQmx Base.

Do you know why this would happen?

Hi Vickie,

Does your LabVIEW project have a PDA target?  If you have a VI in a project that is targeting a PDA, only the DAQmx Base functions Read, Write, Start, Stop, and subpallette Task Config/Ctrl are available.  When opening a blank VI that does not target a PDA, you are given access to all available DAQmx Base functions.

Yes, I'm targeting my PDA in my project so that would make sense. Thanks for the help!
