Configuring independent devices in DAQ Assistant

[Jmc006]

I am wondering why I can't configure independent devices in DAQ.   For example, in the DAQ assistant I can't call out a AI from a PXI 6259 in slot 2 of my chassis, AND a temperature reading from SCXI slot 1?   I have older programs (LabVIEW 😎 where I have done this before.  It seems as if now I need a separate DAQ assistant for EVERY card in the chassis?  That does not make sense.

Thanks for any help.

I believe the problem you are having is due to Tasks only being able to use channels from a single Device.  Meaning, you will need one Task for your PXI Chassis and one Task for your SCXI Chassis.

You should be able to have all your PXI Cards on one Task and all your SCXI Cards on another.

Hope that helps!
