This is pretty trivial to achieve through LabVIEW itself, but...
Signal Express is a simple, stand alone data acquisition system that allows those with limited exposure to LabVIEW set up simple test and measurement routines. One area where this is ideal - at least, for me - is in environmental or long life testing. Instead of crafting a beautiful piece of custom software for my colleagues, I can hand them a DAQ, point them in the direction of the SignalExpress and DAQmx installers, and off they go. With a little fiddling, they can create a logger that suits their needs.
One thing I've noticed, however, is that when sampling with non-simultaneous cards such as the USB 6225, users will select 1-pt-on-demand, set to some big interval, and then come back screaming at the top of their lungs - "OHMYGOD THERE'S CROSSTALK BETWEEN CHANNELS!". With a little bit of fault-finding, it's easy to point out that it's not crosstalk, but ghosting between channels, because I would guess that 1-pt-on-demand uses interval sampling and rattles through the multiplexing as quickly as it can.
My idea: give users the option to either select round-robin mode with a sensible delay, or complete control over the interchannel delay.
I realise that the standard line is usually "use LabVIEW" - I do - but I'd rather spend my time working on the important stuff and empowering those with less experience and/or exposure to make accurate measurements.
