how to I use labview to change resistence to temperature

I'm a beginner in LabView can any one tell me how to convert a resistence what goes down as the temperature goes up. I'm thrying to use automotive temp. sender and oil pressure senders and wire them in to a 6035E DAQ board do run 2 diesel engine to run and disblay all the functions on screen.

DAQ board usually convert voltages, so the first thing you need is a simple hardware solution to convert resistance in voltage. A 1/2 of full bridge setup is fine for this. You can solder it yourself or use one of the signal-conditioning modules NI sales.
If your board has converted the voltages, you can take advantage of the extensive calculation options available in LabVIEW. The documentation of the senders will give you a hint on the lineairisation calculations you need to perform.
