Hi Janiece,
Once you have the switches configured such that the CJC is active and your SCB-68 is cabled to your DAQ device, the CJC voltage will be read in on channel 0 as described in the
SCB-68 User Manual. To find out what terminals on your SCB-68 correspond to which lines on your MIO-16XE-50, check out the
E Series Help where you can find the pinout for your device. In order to do a differential measurement, you will want to put the positive lead of the thermocouple in a channel (AI 1), and then put the negative lead in that channel number plus 8 (AI 9). You can see by looking at the pinout that channel AI 1 is pin 33 on the SCB-68 and AI 9 is pin 66. You can find examples on how to thermocouple measurements in LabVIEW by going to Help >> Find Examples and then on the search tab, search for thermocouple. The high and low limit inputs into DAQ VIs are used to set the gain of the amplifier. You will want to specify the smallest range possible to get the most resolution, which is important for thermocouple measurements.
Regards,
Laura
