Connecting pressure transducers to NI 9205 or NIcRIO 9201

Hello - I currently have an NI 9205 and an NI cRIO 9201 modules that I plan to connect to NI cDAQ 9189. I need to connect 11 thermocouples and 2 pressure transducers to acquire data. From my research, I identified that the NI 9205 is good for thermocouple DAQ, but am not sure if I should use the the 9205 for that or if the 9201 is enough.
Also for reference, I am able to purchase the pressure transducers with different output signals (4-20mA, 0-5V, 1-5V, or 0-10V). 

Thank you

NI-9205 is a voltage input module with input ranges of ±10 V±5 V±1 V±0.2 V. You can use pressure transducers of 0-10V with it. It is not suitable for thermocouples. You should use Temperature Input module with a much lower input range.
