I have an application requiring the measurement of 12 4-20mA signals and 8 K-type thermocouples.
My proposal is to use a PC fitted with a PCI-6034E DAQ through a TBX-68 I/O Connector Block for the current signals, and an NI-4351 Temperature Logger through a TBX-68T Connector Block for the thermocouples. Can anyone foresee any problems with such a set-up? Are there any unforeseen difficulties I should be aware of?
Control will be by LabVIEW.
I am spending someone else's money from a very tight budget, so I need to keep the cost down and to get it right the first time.
The original proposal was to use FieldPOINT gear but its temperature logging is a little slow.
Thanks in advance for your help.
