follow this if you can... I created a VI using a FP-AI-100 I'm using all the channels and sending the data out to a spread sheet with the data falling into their own individual columns which I gave headers that discribe the data. Eveything worked fine except that I had two measurements needing to be measure using differential measuring. So I purchased a FP-TB-10 base along with a FP-TC-K and two FP-AI-V1s. I used Field Point and configured a new IAK file. I created a Channel called "Channel 0124" by coping the "ALL" channel under the FP-TB-10 base then selecting the channels I wanted to use. This worked fine. My VI accepted this new module with no errors. I also checked with the Field Point software that the channels were being read by activating them and looking at the readings with the FP software. all channels were reading fine. The problem I encounter is that Channel 4 is not being read by my VI. All the other channels 0,1,2 show signs of being read through their associated indicators but channel 4 will not. The FP software sees this channel but my VI want. I don't think its in my VI. I've replaced re-ran until my fingures hurt. I guess I could create a simple small VI that uses only this module (FP-TB-10) and see if it still want read. I'll try this while waiting for a response on this question. I do have one question about the configuration process of a multi-channel modual using the FP-TB-10. I've read that you can't use the "ALL" channel unless all the channels are exactly the same. Meaning that all 6 slots have to have the same kind of modules inserted into them (ex. all FP-AI-V1 or all FP-TC-k). Even if there are slots left open you can't use the "All" because it sees an open as a discrete-in channel I believe. My concern is that if you open the FP-TB-10 in the FP software and click on channel All to edit. It shows only 6 channels. The FP-TB-10 actually has 12 channels. If I used the "All" channel to create Channel 0124 that I use in my VI. How does it tell what channels what. I mean actually in the "ALL" channel, channel 0 is channels 0 & 1, Channel 1 is actually channels 2 & 3 and so forth. See I'm using the two FP-AI-V1s as a differential so i'm only using one channel input for that channel. This is what I actually have. Channel 0 is two FP-TC-Ks their on channel 0 and channel 1, then I have a FP-AI-V1 I'm only using channel 2 here not channel 3 because differential uses only one channel then I'm using another FP-AI-V1 which I'm using channel 4 and not channel 5 again because of the differential measurement. Now when you look at the "All" channel (which I used to create Channel 0124 buy duplicating it) it shows only 6 channels how do these 6 channles relate to the 12 individual channels. Meaning when I check the channels I want to use when creating channel 0124 (you have 0 thru 5 to choose from) when I choose channel 4 am I actually picking channels 9 and 10 which is what 4 represent under the "ALL" channel and if so how do I pick channel 4 (the individual channel). I've edited channel 0 and it has only 6 channels (0 thru 5)available to pick from. Are these the first half of the 12 avaliable channels. Because channel 6 when edited shows (6-12). So do I need to copy channel 0 instead of channel "All" as the web site states (and I can't remember actually where I read this. Ok I'm done for now I have an another issue but I wait to resolve this one first.
Thanks you.
