Scan Rate - Sample Rate confusion with the E-Series

[VKral]

I have been reading a lot of post on the messaging board concerning the scan rate and the sample rate but I still dont get it. I am using an E series and am aware that this card does not have a simultaneous
sampling of each channel

I want a time stamp for each value i get from each channel. If I have channels 1,2,3,4 with rate dividors
1,2,4,8
sample rate set to X
scan rate set to X/(Number of channels+1) (ghost channel in order to avoid error -10092) ie X/5
what is the sample rate of each channel ?

VKral,
Here are a few KnowledgeBase entries that I hope will clear up the confusion:

Hope this helps. Have a great day!
