I'm using the SCXI 1520 module and SCXI 1314 Terminal block. what do I need to do to get a reading on my thermistor?

Hello Mr. Metcalf,
To read from your 1520 strain gauge module, you will need a data acquisition (DAQ) board to control and acquire from your module. You will need to configure this system in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). For more information on this manner, please reference Configuring Your SCXI System with a DAQ Board. The steps may slightly differ depending on your software versions.
You will then be able to select the channels of interest in your SignalExpress Step. For more information, please reference the Getting Started with LabVIEW SignalExpress (Multilingual), Configuring a Step section to acquire your data.
Keep in mind that the 1520 is a strain gauge input module and was not designed to take thermistor measurements.

Let me be more specific, We are using the Geokon Model 3500 Earth Pressure Cell. This Pressure cell has a two wire thermistor and we need help hooking it up to the SCXI 1314 terminal block and configuring its settings in DAQmx. it would be fantastic if you have specific instructions on how to hook this measuring device up to the SCXI 1314 terminal block plugged into the SCXI 1520 module using the SCXI 1001 Chassis.
Thanks
Jason
