There are numerous DAQmx I/O channels available on sbRIO and FieldDAQ devices. According to the specifications, the sbRIO and FieldDAQ series support DAQmx, making it straightforward to use these channels in LabVIEW. However, users sometimes want to access the device's DAQmx I/O within VeriStand instead.
This article explains how to use the DAQmx I/O of the sbRIO‑9628 in VeriStand. The same applies for the FieldDAQ devices.

To configure a sbRIO device in VeriStand, you must add the DAQ device without choosing a specific product. You must name the device the same way it shows up in MAX, To get AI, you must create the Conn0_AI (FieldDAQ-Bank for FieldDAQ) device as follows.

1. As Hardware-timed single point on sbRIOs/FieldDAQ is not supported in VeriStand. You must make sure Automatic Timing is selected for the Primary Control Loop timing source.

2. You must also set your Chassis master synchronisation device to None on the Chassis page.

3. Finally, make sure to check Disable AI support in the Hardware-Timed Single Point Sample Mode of the Conn0_AI device.

For AO and DIO, you won't have these problems. You just need to configure a new DAQ device as follows.
