How to address a TC01 Thermocouple over the VISA Server?

I am trying to access/address a TC01 thermocouple over the VISA Server. When I check the devices available from the remote machine, I see my GPIB devices, but nothing that looks like the TC01 thermocouple. Locally, the thermocouple has an alias of "Dev3". I am trying to access it in a similar fashion to the GPIB devices: visa://mycomputer/Dev3/ai0, but I get an invalid format error when my C# code attempts to access a device at that address; the error complains about improper usage of colons. When I look at the NI MAX locally, there is no address shown for the thermocouple like there are for the GPIB addresses. How do I properly address the thermocouple with alias "Dev3" over the VISA Server?

Can you show us the connection in NI-MAX?
