As you said... It is automatic so just hook up your RTD according to the diagram in the manual.  If it is 4 wire then the current is supplied via EX+, if it is 3 wire then RTD+ is used.

The only setup option that I am aware of is the sample rate of the module which can be set to 200ms or 2 ms.  200ms will give you much better filtering against 50/60 hz noise.

If you look on page 8 of the manual (https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/374187f/resource/374187f.pdf) there is a description of what is meant by autodetect.
