what is device number for a SCXI module?

To use Advanced AI Single Scan, I need to configure the AI configure with a Device number. I have a PCI6036 (as device 3) connect to SCXI 1100 with four modules. My strain gauge is connected to channel 0 of module 4. Where do I find the correct Device Number for AI Configure? I would like to do a non buffered AI single scan with latest data. Do I use the right vi?

The device number in question is the device number of the DAQ board that is cabled to the SCXI chassis. I presume you have only one DAQ card cabled to your chassis, so, the device ID will be that of the board you reference in your question --- device ID=3.

Now, for some additional help, you can either use MAX and create a virtual channel name, or, you can perform a direct channel call. If you use a direct channel call, the channel call should be (ASCI String Characters)

ob0!sc1!md4!0

Which means: ob0 - on-board channel 0 of your DAQ card
sc1 - scxi chassis 1
md4 - module 4
0 - channel 0

I hope that this helps.
