Incorrect description for the AIConfig VI

[santosh@gatech]

The help for AIConfig vi  has an error in the description. Its when you want to configure any channel for DC measurements or for Reference Single Ended measurements, without using the default values from MAX. From the context help, if you hop on to the detailed description, it shows that there is an input to the VI to indicates whether the 'coupling and input parametes' should be DC, AC, Ground or Internal reference. All these options are enumerated inside a box. In fact, the first option in the box should be 'Do not change input setting'. This is incorrectly placed outside the box. Thus when I wanted to use the DC coupling option I kept passing the value 0 to the vi whereas I should have been passing 1. The same holds for Differential, RSE, NRSE measurements.

What version of the Traditional NI-DAQ driver are you using?  I just checked the 7.4.1 version and the enumeration is passed correctly.

The traditional NI-DAQ version number is 7.2.01, but the help I was refering to is titled 'VI's, Function & How-to Help' which I accessed from the Help menu in Labview 7.1. I could post you a screen dump of the manual, if necessary.

Ah, I see what you mean.  I can see why you were confused.  I'll make a note of that.  In the future, if you are not certain of the numeric representation of a enumerated input, you can right-click on the terminal and select create >> control or constant and LabVIEW will create the control or constant populated with the values expected by the terminal.

I'm glad you found the problem.
