Anybody confused by PCI-6111E or PCI-6110?

Before Operation:
Signal wires connecting PCI-6111E and BNC-2110 were confirmed to be OK
Operation procedure:
Start&->Program->National Instruments->Measurement & Automation
1.Configuration->My System->Device and Interfaces->PCI-6111 (Device 1)
2.Properties...
"System" Tab->Test Resources
"The device has passed the test"
"AI" Tab
Polarity /->-10.0V - +10.0V {"Only this one"}
Mode->Differential {"Only this one"}
"AO" Tab->Polarity /->Bipolar {"Only this one"}
"Accessory" Tab->Accessory-> BNC-2110√

Readings on oscillograph seem to be right
Amplitudes:
Readings on oscillograph are not right but the ratio seem to be OK
Amplitudes setup value:5.05V
oscillograph read: abo
ut Vpp=40mV
Amplitudes setup value: 2.55V
oscillograph read: about Vpp=20mV

Hello;

The best way to test the hardware is to hook up a well behaved DC signal to the analog inputs and run test panel again. Then, if you don't see any offset, you can maybe hook up a low frequency sine wave and do the same procedure.

In case you see some off set, try to run the calibration VI or NI-DAQ functions to try get rid of that offset.

If you still see some strange behavior with the two signals mentioned, the hardware is probably damaged.
