analog voltage measurement using NI USB-6210

Hello everyone,
I am trying to take a voltage measurement using DAQMX.  I tested this sensor and I am sure that it works.  I keep reading the same voltage when i am touching the sensor, which should not happen. On the other hand, when i use MAX configuration i get the proper reading except it gives me an array of measurements, when i have specified a single point read. Here are the images..

[problematic way]

You might want to wire up your indicator to the DAQmx Read output.Smiley Wink

The only real difference I see is with the different ranges you have. Other than that, it looks like you should get the same results. Maybe someone else will see something wrong.
