cold junction on SCXI with CVI

(Using SCXI 2000 chassis and 1200 DAQ, 1102 Thermocouple module):

Is it possible to read the cold junction temperature during the
same AIStartAcquisition loop in which you scan a number of channels?
i.e. can you use, for example the channel string
"OB0!Sc1!md2!cjtemp,0:11"
to acquire both the cold junction reading AND channels 0 to 11 ? Or do you

have to run two seperate Acquisitions simultaneously??

Hello Rabi,

Yes it's possible to read both the cold juntion and channels 0 through 11.

You would write something like this in the string:

"OB0!Sc1!md2!cjtemp,OB0!Sc1!md2!0:11"

I tried it a while back and I got it working. But I don't remember the exact
syntax of the
string. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
