Different Thermocouple Calibrations; Same Board

[MeCoOp]

I have a PXIe-1073 equipped with 5 PXIe-4353 32 channel thermocouple modules.  The original design intent was to use type J thermocouples.  We just received a part with type T thermocouples installed.  Is it possible to read both type T and J from a single board?  If they were on separate boards could you read from each using the daqmx vis?

Thanks.

MeCoOp,

This is possible with the DAQmx VI's as long as they use the same timing engine. The way to do this would be with the use of an additional "DAQmx Create Virtual Channel VI" but with different settings. You would have all J type thermocouple in the first Create Channel, and all T type thermocouples in the second Create Channel. I have attached an image below that will help to explain the method that you must do.
