Faulty readins when input voltage is above 1.1 VDC

i have a NI USB 6351 multifunction DAQ unit that has been working fine up uintil today.  Now I am getting strange behavior. Wondering if anyone has any ideas what could be up.

 

I am using the Measurement and Automation explorer Test Panels to look at analog input samples.  Input is configured for -10 to +10, Differnetial signaling.

My input is coming from a DC power supply.  Readings look good when the input voltage is below about 1.1 volts DC.  When I increase the voltage to about 1.2 VDC, the readings begin to jump to +10.5 (or so) and back to the correct value.  If I continue to increas the input to around 1.4 VDC, the reading jumps to about +10.5 and stays there.

 

Any Ideas what may be causing this behavior?

Does this occur on all channels?  Have you tried using internal channels to verify the operation of the ADC?
