Are any of your lower channels ( ACH 0-7 ) defined as balanced inputs? Most of the E series daq cards have the inputs grouped in
pairs of 8 for balanced inputs. e.g. If you configure ACH 0 for balanced inputs, you use ACH0 for (+) and ACH8 (-). Then, if you
try to configure ACH8 for another input, it'll give you an error ( as the channel is already being
used ).
The next "group" of balanced inputs should start at ACH16 (+) and ACH24 (-).
Or, it is possible that the "accessory" selected for the DAQ card only has ACH0 thru ACH15 defined, in which case you may also get
an error.
