How to run two PMTs at the same time with one DAQ

I have a DAQ USB 6003 and I have two PMTs connected to it, one in dev1/ai0 and another in dev1/ai2.  I simply copy and pasted the continuous voltage input block diagram into the same VI to act as a duplicate.  I'm not able to run both at the same time, as one waveform is graphed and the other is not.  I believe I am running on two different timers, but I could be wrong.  What do I need to modify in the block diagram to get both of these running at the same rate/start time and have both graphed simultaneously?  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Instead of configuring two independent tasks to do one channel each, you should configure one task and ask it to do two channels (which it will automatically do simultaneously, as the timing is for the task, assuming, of course, that your device supports multiple channel sampling, which I believe the 6003 does).
