There is an example ("AnalogDataFileProcessor") included in Measurement Studio shows how to get AI Physical Channel but it is advanced for people who just starts with Measurement Studio.
Bascially, I just want to populate the DevicesComboBox with a list of available cDAQ and USBDaq devices and physical channel available on selected devices from DevicesComboBox. I am unable to do it.
Public Property DaqTask() As Task Get Return _task End Get Set(ByVal Value As Task) _task = Value End Set End Property Private Sub okButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btPopulate.Click If _task Is Nothing Then ' ' No previous task information. Use the control default values. ' Return End If If _task.AIChannels.Count = 0 Then ' ' No previous channel information. Use the control default values. ' Return End If Dim channel As AIChannel = _task.AIChannels(0) physicalChannelComboBox.Text = channel.PhysicalName terminalConfigurationComboBox.SelectedItem = channel.TerminalConfiguration.ToString() minimumValueNumericEdit.Value = channel.Minimum maximumValueNumericEdit.Value = channel.Maximum numberOfSamplesNumericEdit.Value = _task.Timing.SamplesPerChannel samplingRateNumericEdit.Value = _task.Timing.SampleClockRate End Sub Private Function ConfigureTaskFromControls(ByVal daqTask As Task) As Boolean Try daqTask.AIChannels.CreateVoltageChannel(physicalChannelComboBox.Text, "Voltage", DirectCast([Enum].Parse(GetType(AITerminalConfiguration), terminalConfigurationComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()), AITerminalConfiguration), minimumValueNumericEdit.Value, maximumValueNumericEdit.Value, AIVoltageUnits.Volts) daqTask.Timing.ConfigureSampleClock("", samplingRateNumericEdit.Value, SampleClockActiveEdge.Rising, SampleQuantityMode.FiniteSamples, CType(numberOfSamplesNumericEdit.Value, Integer)) daqTask.Control(TaskAction.Verify) Catch ex As DaqException MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error Configuring DAQ Task") Return False End Try Return True End Function
