I am able to add the analog input channels and set the common properties and channel properties like sample rate for the 1520 cards no problem. What I can not figure out is how to set some of the card specific properties like excitation voltage or gage configuration. The 1520 user manual lists NiDaqMx properties that I need (ai.Excit.Val for excitation voltage for example), but I can not find how to set these with Matlab. Thanks for your help!<br> Shelby
