PCI-6036 shows no readings on Analog in when inputs are tied together.

I am trying to do multi-channel calibration by connecting a calibration source to ACH1-4  which are tied together.  When I do so, there are no readings displayed in the Measurement and Automation Explorer.  Is this normal? Am I wrong in assuming that this will work?

Hi!

     I've not seen anyone do calibration like that, so I can't tell you with certainty of whether or not it should work.  However, the ultimate test is going to be if you can complete a successful calibration on one channel.  Are you following the B/E/M/S series calibration procedure?  If not, please do!  Thanks!

Found the problem. Channel 4 on the card was bad causing a short to ground.  Works fine on a PCI-6024.
