I am using a USB-6008 to measure a DC voltage of ~7.5V. In differential mode, ports AI0/AI4 and AI1/AI5 work perfectly. However, ports AI2/AI6 reports a value of about 1.4V when not connected to the DC voltage, 1.6V when connected and 0.9V when connected in reverse (i.e. - into AI2 and + into AI6). If I then try to measure the DC voltage in RSE (i.e. AI2/GND and AI6/GND), I find that AI6/GND works perfectly while AI2/GND behaves similar to measuring in differential mode. What could be causing this strange reading and how can I fix it?
All measurements are being made on the test panel and not through a vi (although I do have LabVIEW 8). Operating system in WinXP and all drivers are current.
