AI_Mux_Config
Format
status = AI_Mux_Config (deviceNumber, numMuxBrds)
Purpose
Configures the number of multiplexer (AMUX-64T) devices connected to the MIO and AI 
devices and informs NI-DAQ of the presence of any AMUX-64T devices attached to the 
system (MIO and AI devices only).
Parameters
Input    
Parameter Discussion
numMuxBrds is the number of external multiplexer devices connected.
0:
No external AMUX-64T devices are connected (default).
1, 2, 4:
Number of AMUX-64T devices connected.
Using This Function
You can use an external multiplexer device (AMUX-64T) to expand the number of analog 
input signals that you can measure with the MIO and AI device. The AMUX-64T has 16 
separate four-to-one analog multiplexer circuits. One AMUX-64T reads 64 single-ended 
(32 differential) analog input signals. You can cascade four AMUX-64T devices to permit up 
to 256 single-ended (128 differential) analog input signals to be read through one MIO or AI 
device. Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction to NI-DAQ, of the NI-DAQ User Manual for PC 
Compatibles. 
See Chapter 10, AMUX-64T External Multiplexer Device, in the DAQ 
Hardware Overview Guide
 for more information on using the AMUX-64T.
AI_Mux_Config
 configures the number of multiplexer devices connected to the MIO or AI 
device. Input channels are then referenced in subsequent analog input calls (
AI_VRead
AI_Setup
, and 
DAQ_Start
, for example) with respect to the external AMUX-64T analog 
input channels, instead of the MIO and AI device onboard channel numbers. You need to 
execute the call to 
AI_Mux_Config
 only once in an application program.
