How to use more than 16 analog input channels in one module ?

[srm2003]

   Happy new year to everyone.

   The NI-DAQmx  analog input module can only support up to 16 channels.  Now serveral DAQ cards supply more than 16 channels, such as PCI-6259M provides 32 analog input channels.

   So, how  to make dasylab (Ver 11) support more than 16 channels in one NI-DAQmx  analog input module ?

Hello srm2003,

(1) Build your NI MAX task for your device - picture 6259-01.png.

(2) DASYLab: Take a first NI-DAQmx Analog Input module, choose the MAX task and configure the channels 0...15 from device to 0...15 from module - picture 6259-02.png.

(3) DASYLab: Take a second NI-DAQmx Analog Input module, choose the MAX task and configure the channels 16...31 from device to 0...15 from module - picture 6259-03.png.

(4) Now you have 2 AI modules to handle the channels 0...15 (first) and 16...31 (second).
