Changing indicators

Why are my indicators changing while there are no sensors attached to my DAQ card? I'm using Labview 6i Evaluation. DAQ channel viewer clearly shows my PCI 6024E device. Is the simulated driver working now ?

If you have nothing connected to the board, the inputs are floating. Try grounding the inputs and see if you read zero.

Hello;

If you don't have a valid signal source connected to the analog input of your card, the Analog to digital converter will be floating, meaning that the value showing on the indicator will also float.

To have a defined value showing on the indicator, you need to have a valid signal source connected to the analog input channel.

Hope this helps.
