Hardware failure? can't seam to set diff mode

This did work at one time.  We have a DAQPad-6015 connected to a SC-2345 and a number SCC modules installed.  One of the SCC is a "SCC-SG24" that is attached to a load cell.  This circuit no longer works and I have noticed that I can not set the "Input Configuration" to "Differential" mode.  Is there a chance the SCC-SG24 is wiped out?  I tested the analog input channel with a SCC-T02 thermo input, single ended and seams to work.  Replaced the load cell with the same results, not working.  Is there a way to force diff mode?

Kem,

When the SC-2345 is selected as an accesory NRSE mode will automatically be chosen. This is not a choice the user has, so it looks like all modules plugged in the carrier are in NRSE mode, and to a degree this is true. But Strain gauge measurements are always differential. So what happens is the SCC-SG24 module automatically reads them in as a differential input and then passes on the appropiate signal to the DAQ card. So as the user you this is transparent to you, and you don't need to worry about trying to set it anywhere, because you simply can't change that once you select the SC-2345 as an accessory to your DAQ card. So try to take a measurement, and see if it works, and if it is within the tolarences you expect. Let us know how it goes.

This problem was fixed by replacing the SCC-SG24 module.  Thanks for you help.
