Configuring Properties

This topic contains information about the properties available on the NI_DAQmx tab, already including the value of Strings from offline properties, which can be user-programmed when starting an application in Offline mode.

To do so, start this Driver in Offline mode by selecting the Start driver OFFLINE option on the Setup tab of the properties window. The configuration options of this Driver are listed on the next table.
