Mark,
I'd like to give you some information that may prove to be helpful.
In MAX, you mention that you are testing DAQ#1, and that is only lets you test 8 channels. I'm not exactly sure what DAQ#1 refers to, but you should have access to all the channels on all of the SCXI-1140s. Hopefully, you are using DAQmx to configure/program your system since all of your devices are compatible with DAQmx. In MAX, under devices and interfaces and DAQmx devices, you should be able to expand the SCXI chassis, select the individual 1140 modules, and click test panels. There, you can test each channel of each module.
As far as a LabVIEW program, I have attached a simple analog input example(for LabVIEW 7.0). The example uses physical channels as opposed to virtual channels. This will let you again sample each channel on each module. Assuming that your SCXI chassis are named SC1 and SC2, and all the modules are named Mod1 through Mod7, you can address individual channels as follows: "SCXModY/aiX" Where X is chassis 1 or 2, Y is modules 1 through 8, and Z is channels 0 through 7. You can address more than one channel by using a colon, so "SC1Mod1/ai0:2" is channels 0, 1, and 2 of chassis 1, module 1. You can also use a comma, so "SC1Mod1/ai0, SC1Mod1/ai4" is channels 0 and 4 of chassis 1, module 1.
I hope some of this information was helpful, let me know if something was unclear or if you have a problem with this program.
