Cannot read scxi-1126 RSC in Multiplexed Mode

The scxi-1126 manual states that the parallel outputs of the 1126 continuously drive pins 5-18 if the rear signal connector even when the module is configured in multiplexed mode. I am trying to read those outputs throught the 1180 feedthough panel and a 1302 terminal block, but I do not seem to be getting any output at all. I have set up the module in MAX in multiplexed mode, channel 1, 250Hz range, 1 Hz filter, 2.5V threshold and 0.0V hysteresis, and I am sending an 80 Hz, 0-5V, square wave input to the 1126 through a 1327 terminal block and I am expecting to see a 1.6V output at pins 5 and 6 of the 1302. Am I missing something it the configuration or does this just not work this way?

Hello;

The 1180 will only access the unused pins of the DAQ board that controlls the SCXI chassis. It's not possible to generate a sinewave in one of the SCXI modules and catch it on the 1180.
