Scaling one channel while reading multiple channels

[LabviewUser207]

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to read two sensors (strain gauge and displacement sensor) on two channels. However, I want to do some scaling only to the strain gauge (V -> N) and not to the displacement sensor. Does anyone know how to tackle this problem? My approach can be seen below, but this scales both channels...

Thank you for any help!

Create one virtual channel with scaling applied to your DAQmx task. Then add another channel (without scaling) to the same task!

You just need two DAQmxCreateChannel calls…
