Possibility of mixing SE and DI inputs

[tbritt3]

It is a general question but I am looking at the PXI-6259 32/16 AI. It was mentioned on the phone that it is possible to mix both SE and DI inputs on the same controller. Is there a manual showing the process of this and how to tell software to distinguish between the two?

If you want software help, you really need to say what software you are using. For LabVIEW, it just requires a separate DAQmx Create Channel function for each group and using the same task. I don't remember the exact name of the C function but the principal is the same.

Was not needing software help, was just wanting to know if using both SE and DI inputs on the module was possible. And if it was possible, is it mentioned in a manual or would this be considered common knowledge. But LabWINDOWS is the software.

As far as I know, it is just considered common knowledge.  The SE or DI is setup on a channel by channel basis.  When you create a new channel, you state the type of termination (RSE or Differential).

If you did not want software help, why did you say 'how to tell software to distinguish between the two'?

In any case, the manual does say that each channel can use a different mode. Finding the manual is trivial. Did you not do that before asking this question?
