selected physical channel does not support the measurement type

Hello,

 

I've got a simple frequency generator (battery powered) connected to a BNC patch panel which is connected to my computer.  I'm trying to read a frequency.  I add add the frequency step (add step >> Acquire signal >> DAQmx >> analog input >> frequency).  As soon as I hit the run I instantly have an error, basically for whatever reason even though I've added the step for frequency, the error on the step itself says that it's expecting a different measurement, "create a channel of a measurement type that is supported by the physical channel, or select a physical channel that accepts the measurement type"

 

My boss says this worked before...So I know this isn't something where I'm trying to do something the card (or something else) isn't capable of doing.  Thank you for your help,

 

Kevin

1. What is the hardware you use, both terminal block and card?

2. What is the channel you select.

3. Attached error screenshot.
