Maybe I should clarify.
I want to know the best way to connect my Type T thermocouples to my 6013 board. If the AMUX64 board is the preferred method, what is the best wiring scheme for these? Is there any other reference for doing this? What sort of VI should I set up, and where are some good examples?
Thank you.

Hello jmarotta,
Thanks for your post. I see you have the 6013 with Terminal Block CB68-LP. How many thermal couples do you need to read? If you just use the 6013 I recommended using differential mode as well to connect your thermal couples. This will allow you to connect 1 thermal couple per channel. The use of bias resistors is also required as this will give the best noise rejection. This however will allow you to only read 8 thermal couples at a time. Take a look at Table 1 from the link below. This shows the best way to hook up different sensors to your DAQ card.
I see that you want to use the AMUX-64. This accessory uses the traditional DAQ drivers so if you want to use DAQmx then the AMUX-64 is not supported. There are some great example programs for taking thermal couple measurements in the LabVIEW example finder. If you go to Help >> Find examples this will open the example finder and under the search tab type in “thermocouples”. This will bring up some great DAQmx examples. Please post back if any of this is un clear and Good Luck.
