I have a DaqPAD-MIO-16XE-50 and want to read an RTD.

I connect the RTD to the TB52 and wire the excitation current over to the RTD inputs. I ran the Solution Wizard to get a simple vi to run. I get Error -10007 (A channel, port, or counter is out of range for the device type or device configuration; or the combination of channels is not allowed; or the scan order must be reversed (0 last). The RTD channel fails the test in MAX, too. How can I get a reading from this RTD?

The 10007 error occurs when the DAQ Driver does not understand where the signal is located. This can occur, as the error mentions, from a channel, port, or counter not being correct. If you specify the wrong device number, this error may also occur because the DAQ Driver is looking at a different Device than what you expect it to look at.
Since this error is unrelated to the signal connection, you should be able to disconnect the TB-52 Terminal Block and be able to get same error.
Another thing to try is to check to make sure the DaqPAD-MIO-16XE-50 passes the tests in MAX, has the TB-52 selected as the accessory in the property pages, and is configured for Single-Ended Reference mode if you are using channel 8 or greater.
Finally, as a sanity check, you can test one of the
other channels to make sure the other channels work as expected (You may check the channels directly using the Test Panel on the DaqPAD by typing in the channel number instead of using the Virtual Channel in MAX's Data Neighborhood).
