convert voltage to temp

I want to convert the accquired Analog signal (voltage) to corresponding temperature. I found the example code for converting temp to voltage. Is there an example for coverting voltage to temp?
 
BTW, what i need is Type K (0~300C)
 
Thanks

I couldn't find the example you were talking about. Could you attach it? I think you would just do the opposite of the example depending on where your voltage is coming from.

look in
NI measurements-data acquisition-signal conditioning.

Hi,

Which version of LabVIEW are you using and which DAQ board?  If you are using LabVIEW 7.0 or higher and a DAQ board that supports DAQmx (NI-DAQ Driver Support), then you can actually make a temperature measurement directly.  There are many examples that show exactly how to do what you want if you look in the Example Finder: Help > Find Examples > Browse > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Analog Measurements > Temperature

Look at Acq Thermocouple Sample.vi or Cont Acq Thermocouple Samples-Int Clk.vi.

If you have an older version of LabVIEW or you just want to simply use your application and then find the VI called Convert Thermocouple Reading.vi (the one Henrik suggested.)

Regards,
