Test

. Verify your data in the window that opens. If the data is 

incorrect, verify the settings in the DAQ Assistant window, and if 
applicable, the TEDS information.

You now can use the task in an application. You also can edit or rename a 
virtual channel in the DAQ Assistant.

Configure Global Channels in NI-DAQmx

When using NI-DAQmx, configure global channels with the DAQ 
Assistant.You must use MAX to create global virtual channels, but you can 
add a global virtual channel from application software. 

To open the DAQ Assistant in MAX, right-click 

Data Neighborhood

 

and select 

Create New

If you are using a remote RT target, expand 

Remote Systems

, find and 

expand your target, right-click 

Data Neighborhood

,

 

and select 

Create 

New

.

In the Create New window, select 

NI-DAQmx Global Channel 

and click 

Next

.

You can open the DAQ Assistant directly in NI application software: 

In LabVIEW, use the DAQmx Global Channel control to open the 
DAQ Assistant. Right-click the control and select 

New Channel 

(DAQ Assistant)

.

In LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio, first you must 
create a task as previously described. In the DAQ Assistant, click 
the add button, then select a global virtual channel from the 

Global

 tab in the Add Channels to Task dialog box. 

The DAQ Assistant prompts you to create a new global virtual channel:

1.

Select an I/O type, such as analog input. 

2.

Select the measurement or generation to perform. 

3.

Choose the sensor to use, if applicable for that measurement. A dialog 
box opens for the task you have specified.

 

4.

Select the physical channels from which to create global virtual 
channels in the task. Alternatively, you can copy information from an 
existing global virtual channel.

If your system is configured with a TEDS sensor, click the 

TEDS 

Channels

 tab. Select the physical channel(s). The DAQ Assistant 

imports the setting from the sensor. If one or more physical channels 
are configured for TEDS sensors, some settings loaded from TEDS are 
not editable. Click 

Next

.

5.

Type the new global virtual channel name. Click 

Finish

.
