I'm trying to figure out the delay between the samples without applying a reference or calibration waveform to the inputs. I can't find any documention that details the relative delay between channel sampled data. I want to post process the channels and a critical piece is this phase shift. When I look at the data in the LVM output file, the timestamp for all channels that are sampled are the same. I know that there is only 1 ADC in there (unless i am mistaken) so i'm missing something.
Thanks!

If you are referring to the NI 9215, this is a simultaneously sampled module. The analog input circuitry is designed to sample all four channels at the same time, instead of multiplexing between channels like a non-simultaneously sampled module. Thus, when a sample clock pulse is received by the module, all four channels start sampling immediately. As a result, the sample delay between channels is on the order of nanoseconds and shouldn't affect your post processing.
