cRIO voltage from NI 9264 is wrong

My NI-9264 voltage is outputting incorrectly, and I am not sure what the issue is.

Here is what I am sending to the FPGA vi:

The top circled number is the velocity of a mass flow controller that operates from 0-5V with a velocity range of 0-75 SCCM. Hence my conversion from actual velocity to voltage is to divide linearly by 15:

Multimeter reading (Idk why it is side ways I cannot seem to rotate it)

We are using a ribbon wire to connect the module to the Sierra Smart Trak C100 MFC so I'm not sure if that is the issue or if there is something else wrong

Alright I plugged in a DC power supply to a random slot and sent 1.5 volts (McKenna_Air_V_in)

But as you can see the voltage inputs from the other two readings are showing that the voltage on the NI 9205 is floating even though I have the common ground connected tot the power supplies ground.

I assume you've configured the 9205 for single ended vs differential correctly?

Are you within the current spec of the 9264?

How are you connecting the modules? A cable or one of NI's breakout boards?

Try and simplify things as much as possible. For example, use a battery as a voltage source directly to the input and disconnect the outputs to rule out loading issues.

If you are referring to the voltage, then yes.

The modules are placed directly in the cRIO-9035's slots

No, by current spec I mean:

±16 mA all channels maximum; ±4 mA per channel typical

 

By "how are you connecting", I meant connecting to the analog side of the module. For example do you have one of these: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/210164

I see that you have the module setup for differential, that's a little more tricky right? Can you try single ended? maybe with a battery or a potentiometer. Otherwise you have to watch out for things like common mode voltages and such.
