I am using an NI USB-6259 M Series Multifunction DAQ Device. Is it possible for me to use this DAQ device to sample from two channels at two different rates simultaneously?
I will deeply appreciate any additional information relating to this issue.
Thanks!

In short, no.
You can however include multiple copies of the same channel in your task and effectively sample it faster. One problem with this though is the lack of even spacing between samples on a given channel (you can make it work in some specific cases, e.g. ch1,ch2,ch1,ch3...). Most of the time it's better just to sample at the max aggregate rate (500 kHz on 2 channels for the 6259) and decimate in software. What rates are you hoping to sample at?
