Public Sub SaveGlobalChannelAs ( 
	channel As Channel,

channel: Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxChannel
The channel instance to save.
persistedName: Type: SystemString
The name to use for the saved channel.

DaqException	The NI-DAQmx driver returned an error.

Remarks

This method sets the Default option for the saved channel and uses an empty string for the channel Author. You can specify your own options and author value by using the SaveGlobalChannelAs(Channel, String, String, SaveOptions) overload.

If you do not assign a value to the saved channel, NI-DAQmx uses the name currently assigned to the channel.

You cannot view programmatically saved global channels in the DAQ Assistant for versions of NI-DAQ earlier than 7.4. To view a programmatically saved global channel in an earlier version of NI-DAQ, first use the DAQ Assistant in NI-DAQ 7.4 or later to save the global channel.

Visit the DAQmx Professional Developer Tools Web site for more information and examples of programmatically saving global channels.
