Is there a temperature data logger available for the Agilent 34970A Data Acquisition/switch unit

All,
     Can someone recommend a vi to start with the has the capability of reading temperatures (thermocouple and/or thermistor) roughly every second, over 8 channels?  I'll need to graph the data, possibly perform a moving average (and graph that as well) and store the data - the length of data acquisition can last for several minutes to several days.  Any recommendations on where to start?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

The best place to start is with the driver available for the instrument. Download the one for your version of LabVIEW. There is an example called HP34970A Advanced Scan Example that configures channels for either voltage or resistance but you would replace both of those with a HP34970A Conf Temperature function. The example takes 1 scan and once you have gotten that to work, it's pretty simple to modify it so that it will scan continuously.
