Max wont let me add a temperature channel for 4351

[teslac]

I jsut inherited a 1065 chassis with two 6363 and two 4351.  I am trying to use one of the 4351 for TC measurements but, when I try to configure one of the 4351 in MAX for a new temperature task it brings up the 6363 and not the 4351.  I must be missing somthing.

Please advise

Teslac,

My first thought is that the names in MAX may be misleading.  Double check that the names correspond the devices they describe.  If that checks out I would power the system down, move the cards around and determine if this happens again. 

After that start looking into clearing the MAX configuration.  Be aware: THIS WILL REMOVE CUSTOM SCALES, DEVICE CONFIGURATION etc!!

Thanks, I will give that a try by moving the cards.

You can not create DAQmx tasks, channels or scales in MAX for the 4351.  It is not supported by NI-DAQmx.

You will need to use the Traditional NI-DAQ Virtual Channels with the 4351.
