reading temperature using 5508TC adac card

i am using 5508TC adac card to read the temperature from the thermocouples fitted in the pipelines. I developed the application. but i dont know exactly what it is reading. because the temp. is 29°F and it is displaying 0.01. and i also dont know what this 0.01 is? whether it is voltage or some garbage. how to read this temperature into the computer.
thanks,

Hi,
The card that you are using is actually outputting voltage reading which is natural. Depending on the type of thermocouple (K, T, etc.) that you are using, you have to convert the voltage into corresponding temperature using the thermocouple co-efficients.
