Hi, We have a PCI-6111 Daq card. When we put a DC voltage across any of the AI channels the voltage drops to zero after a split second. We have checkedthe channel voltage with an oscilloscope and it is indeed 5 volts high. Upon applying the 5V the DAQ card reads a sharp spike usually less than 5V then drops to zero volts.It seems that the card can't hold a voltage.ALso, on the AO channels we put out a sine wave to an oscilloscope and we get a sine wave that has its negative peaks truncated. So the bottom wave peaks are flattened.Is this indicative of a bad card?Thanks.
