Zero-problem on DAQ-Card NI-6036e

Hello

I am experiencing the same problem as described by Jonathan Maltz on the 
8. Nov. I want to read all 16 channels at least with 1000Hz and there are 
a lot of zeros inbetween the values. I started to count the zeros and 
there were exactly 512 of them. One coincidence i found with this number: 
the DAQ-Card's FIFO-buffer saves 512 samples. does this mean anything? If 
the frequency is down at 500Hz everything worked perfectly, but this rate 
is too low for the task i need it for. The number of "real" values, 
meaning non-zero-values, is smaller than 512 but cannot be determined. The 
number is constant for a specific # of channels and a specific frequency.

We are working with a fast PC (P IV Processor (3GHz) and 512 MB RAM) so 
there shouldn't be a problem with the performance of the computer. We are 
running debian linux.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Marco
