connecting property nodes

[HereWeGo]

I am trying to add the ability to edit the nidaq task in my labVIEW program.  What is the best way to connect this property node.  Also, I want to be able to read the channel names so that I can output them to a file.  In the read.vi is there a way to connect a get channel name property node?

What do you mean by "edit the nidaq task"? Edit it in what way?

As for connecting the property node, just wire it to you DAQ task/channel wire. Then, you can select the appropriate property.

To get the channel names select the "General Properties -> Physical Channel Name" property. You can wire this to a Format Into String function to get your channel name(s) as a string.

I want to select a nidaq task I previously made in MAX and want to modify it in the labview program.  Say I want to modify sample rate, channel ports, voltage input ranges, etc without going back into MAX to change it

If you're going to do all that you might as well use the DAQmx Create Channel and DAQmx Timing functions. If you look at the block diagram of those functions you will see they're just setting property values.
