I don't really know your application, but I have developed a large scale SCXI temperature monitoring system for a customer a few years ago. Before you go out looking at things too much just be aware of the speeds you are interested in turning around based on temperature changes. It is real easy to use a scxi system to monitor even hundreds of channels of thermocouples. As long as you are not having expectations of instant temperature change detection you can easily write your own system with relays to click things on and off. It is fairly easy with the scxi chassis, relays for it, and the thermocouples. You might think about not worrying too much about control theory models if you simply have a range of ok temperatures, are not too worried about over-temp for small periods, etc. I would go from a simple setup of scxi, relays and thermocouples with your own labview monitoring system to using a more complex model later on. It all depends on your application at hand of course.
