The Channel class supports analog (Wfm (DBL)), digital (Wfm (Digital)), and string data types for all channels. Analog waveform is the default data type.

To specify a data type, connect it to the Create Channel VI.

You can also set the data type using Write Data Type VI and connecting it to the Create Channel VI. The following example shows how to use Write Data Type VI to change the data type of a channel.

Note FlexLogger cannot send string data to a plug-in.
