Stops the task and returns it to the state the task was in before the DAQmx Start Task VI ran or the DAQmx Write VI ran with the autostart input set to TRUE.
If you do not use the DAQmx Start Task VI and the DAQmx Stop Task VI when you use the DAQmx Read VI or the DAQmx Write VI multiple times, such as in a loop, the task starts and stops repeatedly. Starting and stopping a task repeatedly reduces the performance of the application.
