14 years later and there is almost no information anywhere about C-type thermocouples, so I did similar to what Sue did.
1. I used https://arachnoid.com/polysolve/ to get a curve fit of data from https://www.pyromation.com/Downloads/data/emfc_c.pdf
2. Using the NI-9211 module in a NI-9147 Ethernet CompactRio Chassis
3. Started with the NI 9211 Getting Started.lvproj project file, it's the example provided by NI (had to move some files around with assistance from David and Kevin in NI technical support)
4. Added a new case for C-type thermocouples in both the Temperature to Volts.vi and Volts to Temperature.vi files using both of the curve fit formulas below.
5. Added C type as an option in all of the necessary front panels by right clicking -> properties -> edit items -> add C in the correct position
6. It should work now! Skipping a bunch of steps, it took me a lot longer than I'm making it sound.

Here's the data to plug into the curve fit tool to save you time (it does both forward and inverse curve fits, and is very accurate all the way from 0 to 2300 C):
