You can use LabVIEW to access the NI VeriStand System Definition .NET API and programmatically configure DAQ devices in a system definition file.

Note Creating and communicating with .NET objects in LabVIEW requires the .NET CLR 4.0 that installs with LabVIEW. You must use a .NET 2.0 configuration file if you want to load .NET 2.0 mixed-mode assemblies. |
The following sections provide an example of using the System Definition API to programmatically configure a DAQ device in a system definition:
- Part 1: Opening the System Definition File and Finding the First DAQ Device
- Part 2: Adding Analog Input and Output Channels to a DAQ Device
- Part 3: Adding Digital Input and Output Channels to a DAQ Device
- Part 4: Removing Broken Aliases and Channel Mappings
As you follow the example, notice that the hierarchy of classes reflect the hierarchy of nodes that appear in the System Explorer window, shown as follows.
