Simultaneous I/O with 6537

I am attempting to simultaneous run pattern generation and aquire data on two channels with the PCIe-6537. Below is a segment of the relavent code. The pattern generation section works perfectly. The issue is that I get no data backe from the input section. I have tried configuring the clock and pause trigger input in numerous ways, none work. I finally decided to simplify it by running a signal from the pattern generator back into the card as a clock and then just do simple external clock timing. Still no go. When I check value of SamplesRead it is always 0. The DataBuf array is always at the preinitialized value. The wierd thing is the routine does not seem to time out. It seems to think it aquired enough samples.
 
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

Abort this request. I figured out my own mistake. Turns out I was calling

  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxReadDigitalU16(InTaskHandle,DataPerSequence,0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,&DataBuf[DataPerSequence*count1],DataPerSequence,&SamplesRead,NULL));

before waiting until all of the data was aquired. By just moving this call after

  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWaitUntilTaskDone(InTaskHandle,10));

all works fine.
