Hi NI_DAQ,

Usually, it's a good idea to start a new thread if the subject changes. It helps your question get more visibility in the community.

The colon ':' is used to specify a range of channels or lines, so port0/line0:7 means all lines (0 through 7) on port 0. There is more detail in the KnowledgeBase:

What is the Syntax for Physical Channel Strings in DAQmx?

Hi NI_DAQ,

For future reference, you may want to start a new thread since this is a different topic than the original post.

I was wondering how you have your channel configured in terms of hardware connections (where is your input signal and where is your ground) and software configuration (input terminal configuration in the DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan function). This is to make sure everything is connected and grounded correctly. This article has many good tips for making a good analog measurement.

Also, have you tried reading these values in Measurement and Automation Explorer? You can quickly get the analog input values by opening the test panels for your particular device. You can learn more about test panels here.
