all channels showing same voltage

Hello,

 

I'm using two Measurement computing DAQs, one for input and one for output.

Since I have only one ATD converter on the input DAQ, I have used a method shown in the capture.jpg picture.

When I run the program, I get the following outputs:

 

- No wire connected to any input: All channels showing same noise pattern, basically the common analog graph shows a nearly single line for all inputs.

- Wire connected to channel 3: I rolled my finger on the wire and got some patterns, but again the patterns for all channels are in a nearly single line

- +5V (actually 4.77) taken from the output DAQ's voltage output channel: Again, all channels show nearly the same voltage of 4.6-4.7

I haven't connected anything to the ground connection, but I'm guessing that's not the problem since the channels shouldn't be affected by a ground.

 

Any idea why this might happen?

 

I can only attach 3 images in the post, so I'll attach another picture in the comment below.

You are seeing something called ghosting. Numerous posts on this. Connect an actual signal to the inputs. Perhaps a ground that you don't think you need or the 5 volts. Ignore any unconnected channel.
