Want to scan voltages with DMM PCI-4060

Hello Tica,
 
I hope you are doing good.
 
Now with the same NI system we have changed the test cell to a bigger one. Please find attached a picture of it. 48 wires are connected, 24 on both sides. On each side 8 wires are connected in 3 rows making a total of 24 wires. Wire#1-24 are on side A (say) and wire# 25-48 are on side B (the other side). The medium beteen the two sides will be salted water.
 
We want to measure potential/voltage in such a manner so that we can calculate the voltage difference between all possible electrode combinations between side A and side B. We are connecting two end of a power source to side A and side B so that there is some current flowing in the water.
 
I have connected wire# 1-48 to 1-48 in SCXI 1331 (left out the zero to avoid confusion). Now that I'm measuring values through the program attached ("Scanning_....vi"), I can see that the first 16 values are showing some values of standards E-2. But from 17-48 are showing values of standard 5E-3 and I guess they are not taking any values at all. Can you tell me why this might be happenning?
 
Another thing, in one of your previous e-mail you mentioned connecting 1_WIRE_LO_REF. If I connect one end to 1_WIRE_LO_REF, where should I put the other end?
 
In case the program is wrong or more than 16 values can not be taken please let me know alternate path or show me how to make changes in the program. I would appreciate your help in this issue. Thank you.
