Does someone know if you can and if so how you can change a specific channel in a tasks while a VI is running?

Please take a look at the attached pic and tell me where I can locate this labview tool.

Often people read text data which includes a date\time.

Currently, there is no inherent function in LV for converting a time string to a timestamp.

The suggestion is to have a VI, basically a reverse VI to Format Date\Time String, which will convert a date\time string to a LV timestamp based on a LV format string.

I was having the same wish for a function when I decided to do this for myself...that is convert a string to a LV Timestamp. What I did was prep the string data using the string commands so that it appears in the mm/dd/yyyy format. Create a timestamp control then create a property node for the NumText.Text (Property Node > Numeric Text > Text) and wire the date string to the node. Now when you pass the value from the control it will be formatted as a timestamp.

I hope this helps

Does someone know how to get the sampling rate property of a task that is defined in MAX?

I'm using the sampling rate in my post test calculations and we've had issues were someone will change the sampling rate and forget to change the constant in the LabView program. If we could just pull the property from a tasks we could eliminate that error in our calculations.
