configuration of the NI PCI 6221

[nak]

Can I configure the NI PCI 6221 to acquire data from different measurement types at the same time, or are do they acquire only one type of measurement with each configuration?

Hello nak,

With NI-DAQmx, you certainly can have a task containing multiple measurement types.  In MAX, or using the DAQ Assistant, you can use the "+ Add Channels" button to add channels of any type.  Or, programmatically, in LabVIEW (or with the C API), you can use multiple DAQmx Create Channel VIs (or functions) to add channels of different types to one task.  See the image for examples of both.  Hope this helps!
