Pure Analog Voltage Input for DAQ System

I am quite new to this, so I apologize if any of this seems obvious. 

 

I am looking to build a PXI system for a high channel, high sampling rate system that will provide DAQ for a variety of common sensors such as thermocouples and pressure transducers. My main question involves the viability of using the PXIe-4302 system for DAQ.

 

I want to sample thermocouples at a high sampling rate, however the PXIe-4353 caps out at 90 Hz, which is too low for my use. I have been looking at the PXIe-4302 which can sample at up to 5kHz per channel, with 24 bits and a range of -0.1 Vto -.1 V. From my research, this module also has NI-DAQmx drivers, which leads me to believe that this is a suitable replacement.

 

I wanted to double check that I was not missing anything obvious here. I am under the impression that I can simply plug in the Analog Voltage Input board, use NI-DAQmx drivers on LabVIEW, and easily configure my system with no other hardware required (besides chassis and controller). Am I missing something? Is there more hardware/setup required to use this module for DAQ? In the NI store, they only list multifunction I/O (6000 series) for DAQ, so I was wondering if I was missing something obvious that will make these analog voltage input modules not ideal.

 

Thank you in advance.
