Using Multiple non-successive Analog DAQ Channels

[J.A.C]

Hi,
I need to use multiple analog channels from my DAQ Device in a particular application. Is it necessary to use continuous range of analog channels (e.g. 0,1,2,3,...) or can i use channels in any order (e.g. 2,4,6...)? My DAQ Device has 16 AIOs. What are advantages/Disadvantages of using non-successive channels ?.

Thanks.

Hello,
It is perfectly acceptable to sample on multiple channels that are not in a continuous range, nor do the channels have to be increasing order. In most applications, there are little to no advantages/disadvantages of doing this, other than ease of use for the programmer.
