Bug in LV6 AI sample channel, sample channels?

[Martin Eis]

Hi,

I have some problems using the DAQ functions AI sample channel / sample
channels. I can't define the channels I want to scan. If I use the
channel numbers, for example 0:4, the right channes are read in, but the
defined scaling does not work. If I use the channel names, I can only
define one channel. There's no array acceptet to define more than one
channel.
Any ideas?

Regards
Martin

Martin,
I run into this all the time when teaching the LabVIEW courses.

Although you can select the channel names you have created from the drop down menu, it only allows you to select one. What you need to do is manually type in the additional names (with a comma separating each name). In order to do this, make sure you have right mouse clicked on the control and Allow Multiple Names is checked.

Hope this helps.

PS. You have probably noticed, but you can't combine the names and the numbers, i.e. 0,1,temp,3 will give you an error.
