niScope EX Differential.vi

[MiniBetty]

I am using a PXI-5105 board and am trying to use the example called "niScope EX Differenital.vi".  When I try to run the example with the terminal configuration set to Differential I get the following error

ERROR CODE: -1074135024

niScope Initiate Acquisition.vi:3<ERR>Invalid value for parameter or property.

Device: OSC Channel Name: 0 Property: Terminal Configuration Invalid Value: Differential Possible Values: Single Ended

Status Code: -200077

If use the same example but set the terminal condiguration to Single Ended I don't get the above error.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Denise

Did you look at the requirements when you opened the example? It says the 5922 only.

Just like bench scopes, the NI-Scope does not have a differential input setting. That is exactly what the message is saying. If you want to take a differential measurement, you need to use two probes and subtract one from the other or use a differential scope probe.

Thank you...obviously I did not pay attention to the requirements.  I guess that explains my error.
