Two edge separation only on first 2 channels?

Hello,
 
I have encountered a strange behaviour of the NI6602 Counter/Timer.
 
When I use the C# Meas2EdgeSeparation example as provided by NI, I am only able to have correct time measurement on channels 1 and 2. For the other remaining 6 channels the time will always be measured immediately when I only have a start signal, the stop signal is not required. This results in a measurement of 1.25 e-8 s, being the minimum value of this counter. It seems that the start signal is also seen as stop signal, but Two Edge Separation should not have this.
 
I have tried:
- using the wires of the other channels on channel 1 or 2: no problem
- disconnecting all other wires apart from the start signal for a channel: still a measurement of time, stop signal not necessary.
 
I have no idea what to do next, channels 1 and 2 are OK, which is bugging me the most.
 
Any suggestions are more than appreciated!
 
Best regards,
Rob
