configuration comprises the channel name, the unit, and all function-specific
settings. Channel 1 of the generator in Figure 2-2 generates a sine curve with
an amplitude of 4 volts and a frequency of 10 hertz.
If you want to configure several channels in one module in the same way, you
can copy the settings. Press to copy all the settings of the current
channel to the other channels. Press to copy only the selected setting to
other channels.
If you use a certain module configuration regularly, for example, the
hardware input Task AD, you can save the module settings as default
settings. Select Default Module Settings from the context menu. If you
insert an analog input of the NI-DAQmx driver into a worksheet, this Task
AD analog input now has the changed settings.
You cannot change the number of hardware inputs and hardware outputs
because the installed driver determines the settings. The module dialog box
shows as many plug symbols as the hardware module has inputs or outputs.
If a hardware device has analog and digital inputs, you must refer to the
description of the driver to find out how the channels are assigned to the
analog inputs and digital inputs.
If a hardware channel is disabled, the channel bar of the hardware
module depicts a blue plug symbol. To activate the channel, double-
click the blue plug symbol with the left mouse button. To disable an
active channel, double-click an orange or a green plug symbol with the right
mouse button.
Creating Partial Solutions in Black
Boxes
Use black boxes to create sub-worksheets in order to combine partial
solutions in a complex worksheet. At the same time, you increase the number
of possible modules the worksheet can contain by 255 with each black box.
A worksheet without a black box can contain a maximum of 256 modules.
You can insert up to 256 black boxes in one worksheet on the same
worksheet level or in a hierarchy in black boxes. This way you can arrange
partial solutions horizontally and vertically.
