What is the difference between a local virtual channel and a global virtual channel in NI-DAQmx?
In NI-DAQmx, you can configure virtual channels as part of a task or separate from a task. Virtual channels created inside a task are local virtual channels. Virtual channels defined outside a task are global virtual channels. You can create global virtual channels in MAX or in your application software and save them in MAX. You can use global virtual channels in any application or add them to a number of different tasks. If you modify a global virtual channel, the change affects all tasks that reference that global virtual channel.
