Problems calibrating/grounding/configuring

I'm trying to set up a system to record analog signals simultaneously, and 
I'm using a Measurement Computing PCI-DAS1000, in single ended mode, and 
using labview and the comedi examples as a display. However, I have come 
upon several issues:
1. How do I slow down the sampling rate? I dont need much more 10/sec for 
some cases, and about 2-5khz sampling for the fastest signals.
2. Im trying to run comedi calibrate, and it says
cb_actual_source_voltage: maxdata = 0x0 invalid
init_setup() failed for pci-das1000
3. I get very fast fluctuations when I have two wires from the card not 
touching anything. When I put the ends (LLGND and CH0 High) across the 
terminals of an AA battery, it jumps to 1.67, and when I let them go, it 
fluctuates again; I I touch the LLGND it drops to zero. Am I having 
grounding issues, and if so, what should I do?

Thanks,
Alex
