Saving a VI under a different name without messing up DAQ

[alexmer]

Hello.

I have a VI that I created which utilizes a few DAQ assistans. I need to make a slightly alternate version of this for calibration purposes, however I ran into an issue before when I tried saving the VI under a different name and making alterations. The DAQ assistants no longer worked, and I saw on the NI website that this is a common error.

Does anyone know a way to get around this so I can use mostly the same block diagram except with a few alterations without messing up the DAQ assistants?

If a 'save as' doesn't work, I can only assume it's a bug in the DAQ assistant which isn't transferring the properties correctly. If you copy+paste the VI on disk and then rename it, does that work?

The other option, of course, is to remove the DAQ assistants and replace them with the code/VIs etc. that perform the DAQ task - I think there's an option to do this from the DAQ assistant. I'd generally suggest this as a good idea, in any case.

If it "doesn't work", what it is doing?  You said in your searches, it is a common error.  Do you get an error code?

Just saving a VI under a new name is not going to give you any problems.  If you are having problems, then it is another cause.
