How do you setup a fixed reference in LabView when gathering temperature data with Agilent 34970A

[19rachael91]

Hi I am using Agilent 34970A to gather a lot of thermocouple data. Until now I was using it soley with the internal reference. I was hoping to switch and set this to a fixed reference. In Lab View, how do I select which thermocouple is the fixed reference thermocouple?

Could you show us some code?  Your question is a bit open-ended and we could considerably narrow down the choices based on what we see.  🙂

I can't show you my actual setup but I working with a driver and the corresponding icons:

Mainly the one with the glasses and thermometer. I am able to set all of my thermocouples through there and select fixed reference but I can not figure out how to select which thermocouple is the fixed reference.

Hopefully this was helpful in clarifying what I am working with (sorry I can not send the screen and I am very new to this)

Have you looked in the help document for the driver? Can you provide more information about which VIs you are using and how you are configuring the reference? I do not see anything about configuring references in the VI you were pointing to: the EZTemperature.vi.
