How can I get a numeric output from the continuous acquisition thermocouple vi that comes with labview?

I am trying to get a numerical output in real time for the temperature of a thermocouple.  I need to be able to send the numerical output through some logic operators to control a servo down the road.  Right now I am just trying to get that numeric output.  I was able to get the graph to provide one on the front panel, but I wasn't able to access it on the block diagram.  I don't need any of the visual indicators, only the numeric real time temperature output.
Thank you in advance,
Josh

Put a Numeric Indicator on your front panel.  Wire the data to it on the block diagram.

I figured out what the issue was.  The data going into the indicator on the front (the graph) was an array containing 10 points.  I was able to change it so it updates every point by changing an input into the sub vi, storing the array and then connecting an indicator to read the 1st value from that array.
