NI 9205 w/ DSUB differential AI greyed out

[rjacob7123]

Hello,

I am using a NI 9205 w/DSUB module on a cDAQ 9188 chassis. The documentation online says that the 9205 should support 16 channel differential input but when I open DAQmx in labview to setup the channels, the differential option in terminal configurations is greyed out.

Is there any additional configuration that needs to be done to enable the option ?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Try using the NI MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) app. You should see the cDAQ chassis and the 9205 module under 'Devices and Interfaces'. When you click on the 9205, you might see some configuration options and a 'Test Panel' button that should allow you to capture data without writing LabVIEW code.

Which DAQmx VI are you trying to use, can you attach a screenshot?

As a side-note, NI MAX is a hardware manager app that lists all NI devices connected to your computer, or connected to your LAN. It's the go-to app for configuring hardware. Under 'Software' it also lists most of the NI software, modules and drivers installed on that machine.

Thanks for the reply. I figured out the issue. I was using the wrong AI pins for the differential measurements.
