Channels Crossed Out in MAX When Using the NIConfig.daq FilePrimary Software: Utility Software>>Measurement & Automation ExplorerPrimary Software Version: 3.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A Hardware: Multifunction DAQ (MIO)
Problem: Why all of my are channels crossed out in MAX, when I copied my NIConfig.daq file from another computer? Solution: You can save your traditional global channel configuration into the file NIConfig.daq and load this file on another computer to work with the same channel configuration on that machine. To load this file, open Measurement and Automation Explorer. Click on Tools >> Traditional NI-Daq Configuration >> 'Set Active Configuration' This will prompt to locate the configuration file and will load the channels. Once all the channels are loaded up, there is a possibility that the channels are crossed out. This is because the Hardware device that the channel pertains to is not selected by default. Therefore, you have to individually select the daq board for each channel. This will take the cross mark off the channel names. The reason for this behavior is because the new machine can have multiple DAQ boards in them or can have the same board in a different PCI slot. So the user has to manually configure the Hardware Device associated with that channel. See refer to the Related Link for more information about the NIConfig.daq file.
