Constantly rising voltage reading

The readings that labview displays for the voltage of four water level probes slowly but constantly rises when i run the VI.
I have tested the probe output with a multimeter, and it is outputting a steady voltage, so the problem is on the computer side of the DAQ board.
My VI simply consists of a DAQ assistant, a write to file function, a wire splitter, and four waveform charts, one for each of the four input channels.
 
Can you over me any advice?
 
cheers

hi there,
 
- have the (hardware) wires been connected to the DAQ-board while you measured the voltage with the multimeter?
- be sure to select the correct input terminal configuration (RSE, NRSE, differential, pseudodifferential). you can select the configuration with the "DAQmx Create Channel.vi"
- try to read the DAQ board with the testpanel in MAX to test different settings
 
if nothing helps, send us some code.
 
 
Best regards
chris
