access internal channels on 9263 device

I would like to check the output of my 9263 device so I can wind the output down to zero (ramp down) in case it got left in some other state. According to Knowledge base article 3L9G7246 (and several others) this shold be possible by telling the name filter to include internal names. I've done this and I can see all the internal channels for the other two modules I have plugged in (9205 and a 9219), but there is no sign of the _aoX_vs_aognd channel which should be on mod 3. Does this device, in fact, support this? There is always the possibility of a physical connection, but I'ld rather use the internal one if it exists as that precludes someone forgetting to make a connection.

Could you please tell me which chassis you are using?

Hello Rossu, 

 

The KB you are referring to is specific to many Multifunction Input and Output DAQmx Devices NI 62xx and NI 63xx which have Analog Inputs that can be internally connected to their Analog Outputs for diagnostics. Thus you can access the _aoX_vs_aognd by enabling advanced terminal on an analog input physical channel control. The NI 9263 is an Analog Output only device and does not support this feature.
