create several tasks at once

[WWolf78]

Hi everybody,

I'm quite new to Labview and here is my problem:

I'd like to use +/-20 outputs at a DAQ

the wizzard does not work, why i change this to DAQmx code:

(which work perfectly)

If I do this for 20-30 Outputs, this will result in a bunch of code.

Is there an easier way of creating this / with e.g. loops?

additional:

can I use "several" error lines or should I connect every block before the while loop and then all blocks within the loop?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, use a FOR loop.  You should Make an array of the channels you want and create the tasks using autoindexing on the FOR loop.  You can do something similar for the writing: autoindex on the array of tasks and an array of the values you want to write.

Thanks for the Tip!

will the for Loop then create an "task array"?

the Values to write are not fixed, the user can switch them on/off as required.

how can I solve this as easy as possible?

Yes.  You autoindex the created tasks out of the initialization FOR loop.

Use Build Array to combine all of your values into an array and then a FOR loop to write them.

"Use Build Array to combine all of your values into an array and then a FOR loop to write them "

as the Tasks I'll perform on an pressed button are quite fast (switching an output on/off), would be an event structure a better solution?

otherwise, on every instance I'd have to create the boolean array and analyze, if any button has been switched and then perform the equivalent action.

that's the solution:

Easy and (I think) quite short.

Tanks for the Help!!
