Issue Details

I am using LabVIEW to create a new channel or control (task) with DAQmx base, but i am not being able to create new tasks. When I create a control on the front panel and try to see the devices with the drop down button, this button is grayed out and does not allow me to browse anything.

Solution

For MAC OS systems and computers, whenever you try to create a new task within Labview and try to see the devices with the drop down button, this button is grayed out and does not allow to browse anything; what you need to do is to manually introduce or type in the channel/instrument names, in order to send out/receive DAQ signals without problems.
