title: LabVIEW DAQ sampling rate
body: <p>I am trying to sample myDAQ NI module at 1 Hz with the below code, but for some reason, no matter what I set as sampling rate, it seems to be sampling at the same rate, much faster than 1 Hz.</p>

  <p>Following kosist's advice, I added 'samples per channel' input. But from what I read in the help, that only sets a buffer size. And it doesn't seem to have any effect on how fast the samples are still coming in, though.</p>
  
  <p><code>cDAQ1Mod1</code> is a NI 9205. Can it really be that with this device I have to sample my temperatures, which are only slowly changing over 20 hours, at something like 10 Hz (that's what it seems like it's running at now)? That would be kind of crazy. </p>
  
  <p>Ok, I think this hardware that was passed on to me is now 10 years old, but I find it hard to believe there is a fundamental technological limitation that prevents me from sampling slowly even with that older piece of hardware.</p>
  
  <p>I am very new to LabVIEW. Appreciate your help.</p>
