200431 Physical Channel not supporting measurement type.

[TeamPicatinny]

I'm using an NI USB-6216 data acquisition device. I do not have measurement studio but am using visual studio 2017. I've opened a sample project that measures frequency (ContAcqFreq_IntClk...) but when it attempts to create a frequency voltage channel, I get the 200431 error. Is this a configuration thing? I figured the input channels could measure frequency out of the box.

Hi TeamPicatinny,

Error -200431 means that you've tried to create a task type that the specified channel can't handle. In your case, it sounds like you tried to create a counter input task on an analog input channel.
