Complete the following steps to verify the AI DC offset:
1. Connect a 50 terminator to the analog input channel 0 of the device.
The terminator grounds the input channel when it is in
pseudodifferential configuration.
2. If you use C function calls, create a task using the following function.
If you use LabVIEW, skip this step. The task is created in step 3 in
LabVIEW.
You use the object
myTaskHandle in all subsequent NI-DAQmx
function calls.
