Overview

This example demonstrates a programmatic method for selecting available devices on a system for DAQmx task configuration.

Description

Employing methods to programmatically select available devices and physical  channel types, allows developers to avoid User input for application deployment. The example below uses the DAQmx System Property Node to isolate the first available Digital Input (DI) lines, and forwards a selected subset for DAQmx Task configuration. This example is meant to be demonstrative of the available System and Device properties that may programmatically be extracted. Further logic may be implemented to isolate specific device names, bus types, or additional I/O types.
