How do I set the ADC range for analog input streaming. Is there some manual I'm missing? None of the VIs have any descriptions except a few comments on the diagram.
If you know the parameters to the function (IOType, Channel, Value, x1), but are not sure what to pass, check out the applicable hardware section and pseudocode section:
The concept of AIN range on the U3 is a little quirky. They have a fixed normal input range of 0-2.4V for low voltage AIN and +/-10V for high voltage AIN. Then there is a special range available that is 0-3.6V for low voltage AIN and -10/+20V for high voltage AIN. The U3-LV has low voltage only whereas the U3-HV has both.
To get the special 0-3.6 volt or -10/+20 volt range, you do a differential reading with the negative channel set to 32, although the reading is actually single-ended.

Which device are you asking about?
Sorry U3 using UD drivers
In general, if you are wondering about what function to use and what are the parameters to a function look at Sections 4.1 and 4.2:

You can see an example of a special range reading in the pseudocode section 4.3.
I have the U3-LV, and I'm already at the normal gain so I guess I am all set, thanks.
