Hello,
I would like to take strain gage measurements using an SCXI-1600 USB data aquisition control module and a bunch of SCXI-1520 strain gage modules (8 Channel Modules).  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!
