Error in reading voltage using DAQmx with PXI-6259

Hi,

 

We are trying to acquire analogue voltage from 5 channels using PXI-6259. We trigger the data sampling with clk 0 (i.e. using PFI 12).

The problem we had is:

 

1)When we tried to get voltage from 5 channels, we get 2 data at the same after twice the period. For example, If we set the 

  sampling rate to be of period 1 second, we get 1 signal at 2 second and around (2+t), where t is a random time less than the execution period of the loop.

  Then the next cycles would be 4 second and (4+t).

2) This timing problem did not occur if we only acquire voltage from 2 or less channels.

3) We tried to run exactly the same program with NI USB-6210 and everything worked just fine.

4) We replaced the DAQmx read with DAQ assistant and still encountered the same problem.

 

Attached is the a simple program that showed the error. Is this possibly a bug in PXI or DAQmx?

 

Please help us
