Trouble capturing waveform from PXI-4472

I'm really a very green newbie at this stuff, so bear with me...

I've got a PXI-4472 data acquisition board and a PXI-5411 waveform generator. I've connected the arbitrary out of the 5411 to the channel 0 in on the 4472. An external oscilloscope shows a 1v-amplitude sine wave being generated.

I created a very simple VI to show what the 4472 is capturing. It connects a NI-DAQ channel I generated to the standard "AI Acquire Waveform.vi", then out to a Waveform Chart, all within a while loop with a Stop button. Problem is, all the waveform chart seems to be showing is the running average of the waveform instead of the form itself (solid line, a tad above zero).

I can hook the 4472 input channel up to a DC-out power supply, a
nd when I vary the voltage, the waveform chart changes as well.

So my question (whew!): What's wrong here that's not allowing me to capture a waveform from the 4472 (in turn from the 5411) and display it on my waveform chart?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Never mind.... it was a sample rate problem. I upped the sample rate and it came out ok.
