How do I Delete DAQmx Channels

I am pretty much a novice to LabVIEW, and many of you may see this as a very easy question, but how do i remove DAQmx channels (If this is the correct term, or is it tasks?).
I have been playing about, and seem to have a few redundant channels and wish to remove them. I have been looking for a while now and can't seem to find it anywhere.
Solved!

You need to open DaqMX by clicking:
Once DaxMX is open you need to open the channels area:
THen you need to right click on the channel or task that you want to delete and select the delete function.

How can I delete one channel of stereo audio?

I am using FCPX and I need to delete one of the stereo channels. All I am seeing on the screen is one waveform and one channel. How do I see both channels?

Change it to dual mono and use expand audio components. You can adjust the channels separately or switch either off in the inspector.

How Do I Delete My Postcast Channel and Create a new one

Hey everyone,
I have had a nightmare trying to get support from iTunes and Apple.
I have lost access to my old iTunes Podcast in 2012. I have been in contact with iTunes, Apple support...etc and they are not able to help me get access to my channel
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/social-media-the-truth/id472634190?mt=2
The service I was using their website is no longer available.
Have two questions
1) Does anyone know how I can get access to my channel so I can
    - Update the image
     - Update the bio and show name
    - Start uploading podcasts again
or
2) If I can't get access to it, how do I delete the channel and start over. or Is it ok to create an second channel under the exact same name new banner?
I would really love your help with this

You can can only access your podcast by accessing the feed - you can't make any changes in iTunes. Your podcast still works - the feed is at
http://rss-feed.s3.amazonaws.com/51178.xml
and the top episode downloads and plays when subscribing.
The correct method for moving a podcast to another feed is to add a special tag to the original feed as described here: however I would assume that you can't do this. Your next step would be to contact Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using the new feed. Give them the iTunes Store URL and the URLs of both feeds. I can't absolutely promise they will do this but they have done so for other people.
Before you do this, test out your new feed by subscribing to it manually in iTunes and checking that the episodes appear and download.

How to create multiple physical channels using DAQmx?

Hi, I am new to Labview.
Can anyone please help me on how to create multiple physical channels? I am following the LabVIEW examples in the NI example finder but they are only for acquiring signals from one channel.
Actually, I am using the channels of an SCXI 1520 to measure voltage signals. And one more thing, in the NI Example Finder, they are sample codes there for setting the filter in SCXI 114x.
Will this example work with an SCXI 1520, too?
Thanks!

There are many ways to read multiple channels in LabVIEW. First, if you look at that example that lets you set the filter setting on the 114x and you click on the 'Physical Channel Listbox' then click 'Browse' you can see that you can select multiple channels. After you select the channels and hit 'Ok' it will build a multiple channel string. This is one way to read multiple channels.
Next, you can create a 'Task' in Measurement and Automation Explorer(MAX). When you create this task select all the channels that you need to read then back in LabVIEW simply select a 'DAQmx Task Name Constant' Select the task you just created and wire that to an Input of your first DAQ VI. If you do this you do not need to have a 'DAQmx Create Physical Channel' VI or create
Task because it is already created in MAX.
When looking at example VIs you can tell if a multi-channel read is acceptable by looking at the 'DAQmx Read' and if it says NChan that means it will do a multichannel read. There are tons of example programs that will display the multichannel read capabilities.
This example may not work for the 1520 because the properties that are set could possibly be specific to the 142x. When using the 1520 though it is very likely that the properties will be very similar if not exact. You will simply put a DAQmx Channel property node on your block diagram and then look for the Lowpass filter settings properties that will most likely be in the same location. Now another way todo this without using a property node would be in MAX when you create a task set the filter settings from the Device tab in the task configure window.
Let me know if you need anymore help with reguards to this issue! Have a great day!

How to delete "ghost"-channels?

Hi all,
I have the following problem: After performing an FFT, Diadem (9.1) creates me several ghost channels: These channels are empty, have no name and their number is not equal to their index.
Now first of all: Why do does channels appear?
Or: How can I delete them? I tried the following:
for i=GlobUsedChn to 1 step -1
   if chnname(i)="" then
      chndelete(i)
   end if
next
But because the number and index are not equal that delets only some of them.
Regards
Patrick
PS: sorry for my edit-war

How to make a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx ?

I want to measure the CJC temperature on the TBX 1328 ( attached to SCXI 1121). I want to create a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx. I have right clicked on DAQmx but there is no option for virtual channel. Ther is the option of 'Traditional virtual channel' which i dont want.
I used the VI to make the virtual channel but i want to knowhow to doit inMAX.
thanks

Here are 2 ways that you can create a DAQmx channel that appears in MAX.
1) In MAX, right click on "Data Neighborhood" and select "Create New...". Then click "NI-DAQmx Global Channel" (or "NI-DAQmx Task" -- a task contains the channel(s) and triggering/timing information) and click "Next". This launches the DAQ Assistant that will guide you in creating the channel or task.
2) In LV, place a NI-DAQmx Global Channel control on your panel or constant on your diagram. Right click on the control/constant and select "New Channel(DAQ Assistant)..." (Note: You can do the same from the NI-DAQmx Task control/constant to create a NI-DAQmx Task.)

How to Programmatically Set Scale on DAQmx Channel? Possible LabView Bug?

Hi folks. I have researched this question here on the forums and think I know what I need to do, but it doesn't work.
What I'm Trying to Do
I am creating a DAQmx Analog Out task that will write to a dozen channels. I would like to set the scale on each of those channels to one of a handful of custom scales that I've already defined in my project. From reading various posts on this forum, it sounds like I want to pull each channel out of the task using the DAQmx Task property node, then set each scale by writing to the AO.CustomScaleName property within the DAQmx Channel property node. See the attached screenshots and VI file.
The Problem
I keep getting error 200378 "Custom scale specified does not exist". The custom scale definitely exists in the project, but the VI won't recognize it. It sounds similar to the bug described in this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Why-do-I-receive-Error-200378-quot-Custom-scale-specified-does/td-p/... However, I've tried the various workarounds mentioned in that thread (opening VI outside of project, then from within project, etc) and I don't get any different results. I'm running LV 8.6.1
Questions
Does this VI work for anyone else once you've defined a custom scale with the same name as the one in the VI?
Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for any advice, it is much appreciated. I've attached screenshots of both the VI and the Project window showing the custom scale exists, and I've attached the VI itself.

This workaround isn't exactly what you are trying to do, but I have made a set of VI's that will let you open up the DAQmx Assistants from LabVIEW code programmatically.
Programmatically Call NI DAQmx Assistants
You can call the VI to edit a channel and manually reassign the scale if you want to avoid going straight to MAX.

Help! How can used to DAQmx LV 8.2 (2-channel output signal)??

I can't do this by myself

Hello,
The code you posted will work for generating two different signals on two channels. Please look to the to image I attached titled 2AO.JPEG for reference on how to setup the physical channel for two AO channels. I also modified the code to include an AI task (VI file attached titled 2AO1AI.vi).
I noticed you were using the SCXI 1180 feedthrough panel with a 1300 terminal block. Are you just using the SCXI 1180 for access to the pins on the cable coming from the 6281? Or are you using an SCXI chassis with other modules?

How can I select a channel on the RT target with a VI on the host?

Maybe I'm trying to pound a square peg into a round hole, so please let me know if I'm abusing LV, but ...
I'm trying to parameterize our RT VI app that deals with digital output channels. We use the same basic VI for multiple configurations. The only thing that changes is the channel allocations. So for instance, actuator 1 is on port0/line5 for one configuration and port1/line2 in another. I really don't like the idea of modifying the VI every time we have a new configuration because it makes configuration management insane. If I make a change to the basic VI, now I have to upate N copies of the VI and hope I catch everything.
So I'm making the main app VI read an XML configuration file that specifies all the allocations. Sounds great at first, but how do I create the XML file? I created a VI that manages the data in the VI, allowing the user to add/remove channels and edit the name and channel and then save it to an XML file. The configuration is comopsed of an array of clusters, with the cluster containing the name and DAQmx channel. My intent was to let the user select the channel from the list of valid channels by using the DAQmx Global Channel control. But the problem is, the configure VI runs on the host, which doesn't see any of the channels because they are on the RT target. But if I try to run the configure VI on the target, it refuses to deploy because I have GUI widgets.
Is my approach fundamentally flawed? Is there a better way of parameterizing our VI? Or is there a trick to getting access to the valid channels on the host VI? The information MUST be available because after all, when I modify a target VI and select a global channel constant, I'm doing this on the host.
Thanks,
Keith.

Hi Keith,
you can handle the channels like "normal" strings. See the attached picture.
Hope it helps.

Change a DAQmx channel property for a single channel from a channel group

Hi,
I'm doing some digital output, and I'd like to tristate certain lines in each port. However, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to specify which individual lines to tristate. I input a port and a line range, e.g. PXI-6533/port0/line0:7, specify to use one channel for each line in the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel VI, retrieve the channels from the DAQmx Task Property, and try to operate on the individual channels that way. However, this results in the following error:
Error -200428 occurred at Property Node DAQmx Channel (arg 1) in tristate_test.vi
Possible reason(s):
Measurements: Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid.
The value must refer to a valid task or valid virtual channels.
Task Name: PXI-6533/port0/line0
The NI knowledge base article that deals with this error code talks about creating a task with the DAQ assistant, or ensuring that a task has been created. However, I'm not using the DAQ assistant, as my I/O is pretty complicated; I'm just using a bunch of virtual channels.
Is there a way to specify individual channels to changethe properties of without having to create additional virtual channels? I have 48 digital channels I plan to use, so the less virtual channels I have to create the better.
Please reference the attached VI, which demonstrates the problem I am facing.
Thanks for any assistance.

You can only software-time tristate for the 6533/6534. Have a look at the attached example.

How can I use the NI PXI-6508 with Lab View 7? what are the first steps to get started??How can I use the channels with lab view 7????

I have a 8 slot PXI system with 2 NI PXI 6508 and 1 DMM 4070 in it. I want to get started with programming the digital I/O cards (6508)! How can I use this cards with LabView 7?what is the best way to get started, or where can I get examples showing how to use the several channels?
Thanks!
Philipp

Philipp,
The best way to get started is to decide if you want to use traditional NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx. Recently we released NI-DAQ 7.1 which provides NI-DAQmx support for the PXI-6508. In my opinion, NI-DAQmx is more efficient and much easier to use.
To get started with examples, simply launch LabVIEW and go to Help>>Find Examples. Then expand Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx and select the appropriate digital group for your application. This should help get you started.
Please repost if you need addition assistance. Good luck with your application!

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

Terry Woolf
Thanks for the reply.
The link to your prior thread is
Audio
I suspect that the issue of no audio for your .mp4 file goes to your conversion method MXF to .mp4.
Please excuse if I am saying what you already know. When you import your video into Premiere Elements (in your case 12 Mac), a project
preset is established, either by you manually or the project automatically. That project preset contains a description of the project settings
for audio as well as video. Unless you select one of the project presets which are described for use with 5.1 channel, your audio in video audio
imports into a stereo project. It is in the export area that you will find your opportunity to customize (if necessary) the settings for audio.
In the project, if applicable to your situation, you can duplicate an audio channel (See Fill Left or Fill Right under fx Effects/Audio Effects).
Please let me ask this to make sure of the details.
If you import your .mp4 with 2 channel audio (derived from your .mxf convert and dragged to Video Track 1/Audio Track 1) and cannot hear the sound....
a. do you see any evidence for an audio file in the Timeline Audio track 1?
b. if you do, how many wave forms do you see, one or two?
c. if you have the audio meters opened while you are playing back the Timeline content in Edit area, do you see 1 or 2 channels and is
there activity in both.
d. when you import the file into Project Assets, do you observe any conforming activity going on in progress bar in the lower right cover of the workspace...if
so, do you wait for it to go to completion before continuing on?
We could also try deleting the conformed audio in the Media Cache Files Folder to force the program to re-conform the audio. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks should show you the location of the Media Cache Files Folder whose contents you will be deleting.
Please review and consider, and then let me know if I targeted your question. If not, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I will rethink my reply based
on your response.
Thank you.

How to building a multi-channels analog output task in visual c++ 6.0 (without Measurement Studio)?

Hello!
I have a PCI 6251 card, and using DAQmx C function to generate a wavwform. (single channel ).
But, how to creating a multi-channels analog output task, and had a different frequence in each channels?
Thanks.

This is getting to be a common question!
The answer is, you can't.
If the rates have common factors, you can use a higher overall rate. The slower waveform will simply have extra points in it to make up for the higher update rate.

Delete Radio channels in iTunes?

I have a huge number of Radio channels that Apple iTunes (v 10.6.1) comes with by default (as you know if you've ever looked at the Radio listings).
How can I delete most of them so I don't have to scroll through them?
If I have to do it via Terminal or going in to the System folder it's okay.
Thanks for any info.
