Reading analog signal using DAQPad-6016

[Bernadette]

I'm trying to read an analog signal using DAQPad-6016.  One input is ground, the other is Vdc.  I can't get it to work in MAX and I'm confused becaue MAX only gives me an option for differential reading, but the pinouts don't give enough information on how to connect differentially.  Is there a reference as well?

Hello Bernadette,

This link should have everything you need to get set up correctly: http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/setuphardware/dataacquisition/analogvoltage.htm

After you have a task set up, specifically see step 11 to verify the connections to the device. 

I hope this helps!
