Sampling frequency with DAQmx in .NET

I am making my first application with DAQmx and .NET and have an issue with setting sampling frequency.

The setup is

Rack: 9188

Slot1: 9237

Slot2: 9237

Slot3: 3201

Slot4: 9421

My idea was that all channels are set up as global channels in NI MAX. In this way a channel can be configured with the right custom scaling and test run in MAX.

The .NET program then creates a Task, and adds the right channels to it (the _channels object is just a container for all objects):

Dim analogTask As New DAQmx.Task
_channels.analogTask = analogTask
_channels.LoadChannel = analogTask.AddGlobalChannel(config.loadChannelName)
_channels.TorqueChannel = analogTask.AddGlobalChannel(config.torqueChannelName)
_channels.TransverseForceChannel = analogTask.AddGlobalChannel(config.transversalForceChannelName)
_channels.TransversePosChannel = analogTask.AddGlobalChannel(config.transversalPosChannelName)

LoadChannel, TorqueChannel and TransverseForceChannel are Bridge type channels with custom scaling. The TransversePosChannel is Voltage type, also with custom scaling.

The sample clock is then configured and task is verified:

analogTask.Timing.ConfigureSampleClock(String.Empty, config.frequencyHz, _
    DAQmx.SampleClockActiveEdge.Rising, DAQmx.SampleQuantityMode.ContinuousSamples, config.frequencyHz)

analogTask.Control(DAQmx.TaskAction.Verify)

I then create an AnalogMultiChannelReader and a callback. NUM_SAMPLES_PER_READ is 500.

_analogReader = New DAQmx.AnalogMultiChannelReader(_analogTask.Stream)
_analogCallback = New AsyncCallback(AddressOf AnalogInCallback)
_analogReader.SynchronizeCallbacks = True
_runAnalogSampling = True

_analogReader.BeginReadWaveform(NUM_SAMPLES_PER_READ, _analogCallback, _analogTask)

 The callback looks something like this:

Private Sub AnalogInCallback(ByVal ar As IAsyncResult)
	Try
		Dim timeLoadData() As measuredData

		If ar.AsyncState Is _analogTask Then
			_daqData = _analogReader.EndReadWaveform(ar)
                         ... ... ...
                         ... ... ...
			beginAnalogRead()
		End If
	Catch ex As Exception
		Try
			stopAllTasks()
		Finally
			RaiseEvent ErrorOccurred(Me, "DAQChannels.AnalogInCallback: " & ex.Message)
		End Try
	End Try        
End Sub

The issue is that the sampling frequency seems to be about 1.6 kHz no matter what I set in the ConfigureSampleClock call.

I have verified that 500 samples are returned at each call to the AnalogInCallback, but it is always called about three times / sec no matter what freqyency I have set.

I might have missed something obvious, but right now I am kind of stuck so I'd really appreciate your help here.
