How can i delete a DAQ Task

Hi,

 

As i see the list of NI DAQ tasks growing into infinity, Im starting to wonder how I can delete these tasks, as many have become irrelevant. Is there any easy acces to them? I've Tried to use MAX, but that didnt do anything for me. It terribly easy to add these tasks but seemingly impossible to delete them, or to copy them from one computer to another, hence my frustration.

 

Could anyone help me out?

 

sincerely,

Bart de Vries

Tasks can  be deleted in MAX or with the DAQmx Delete Saved Task function. Task can be exported in MAX or with the System Utility Export function.

 

Why are you creating so many tasks in the first place?

Mainly because i didnt know you could create a task within labview, thats why I went the hard way around.

Well, it is not a "hard way", it is just "another way". Both ways (MAX vs. LV created task) have their place.

The advantage of MAX tasks is that you can change settings (e.g. different hardware/channel, ...) without modifying the software. Disadvantage is that you have to provide those configurations together with your application, so you require a more worksome deployment procedure....

 

just my 2 cents,

Norbert
