Analog inputs reading when open circuited

Does anyone know what the analog inputs should read on a 6035E card when nothing is connected to the inputs

 

ie  different mode  value reading?

 

single ended not reference value reading?

They could read any value to just beyond the input limits/range of the device- their high input impedance inputs 'float' and build up an arbitrary charge. Search the site for 'ghosting' where unwired channels adjacent to a wired up channel tend to mimic the voltage on the wired channel.
