USB-6259 Will not acquire all analog inputs simultaneously

Hi all,
 
I am trying to simultaneously acquire 10 analog channels and control 3 digital channels. I have gotten the timing down okay, but no matter what I try, the DAQ will only record channels 0:7 on the analog side. All channels make it into my data file output (Dev1/ai0:9), but the last two are zeros, even with a function generator attached. Any ideas? Thanks!

Simple error -- I selected channels 0:9 for my analog input. Since the USB-6259 does not support "Differential" measurements, analog inputs 8:15 are not available. I reconfigured the analog input virtual channel to read from channels "Dev1/ai0:7, Dev1/ai16:17". Problem solved. I guess reading the channel labels on the DAQ might have been a good start instead of assuming that all channels were available... 🙂 Modified VI is attached in case anyone else has the same issue.
