External thermistor solution

I have a customer with plenty of 1102C channels available, but they need to measure thermistors.  Does anyone know of an external signal conditioning device that doesn't cost too much, that would translate 2-wire thermistors into voltage for reading on the 1102C?

Jed,

 

The thermistor changes resistance with tempurature, so you should be able to supply it with an excitation and measure the voltage accross the terminals.   Take a look at this:

The 1102C can take voltage measurements, so you should be good!
