Multiple digital input tasks per device

[BMarley]

I'm a DAQmx noob here and I've got some general questions regarding Task architecture on a device.  I'm attempting to create two DI tasks each with a portX associated on the same device.  When I attempt to start these tasks the second one always throws a resource error -200022.

Can I even have two Digital Input Tasks on the same device?

Not if they are both hardware timed. If you do want to use hardware timng,  combine the channels into a single task.
