public void SaveTask(Task task)
Remarks
You may save a task under a different name by calling SaveTaskAs(Task, string).
This method sets the Default option for the saved task and uses an empty string for the task Author. You can specify your own options and author value by using the SaveTask(Task, string, SaveOptions) overload.
You cannot view programmatically saved tasks in the DAQ Assistant for versions of NI-DAQ earlier than 7.4. To view a programmatically saved task in an earlier version of NI-DAQ, first use the DAQ Assistant in NI-DAQ 7.4 or later to save the task.
Visit the DAQmx Professional Developer Tools Web site for more information and examples of programmatically saving tasks.
