Is CJC accomplished automatically when using MAX to create virtual Thermocouple Channels?

"I have a SCXI 1000 chassis, a SCXI 1102 module and a TC 2095 terminal block. I am configuring virtual channels with the names TC(n) where n is the channel number. When I configure the virtual channel, I am selecting 'built-in' CJC. The question I have is:
When I reference the virtual channel from my DAQ application, is the data I receive already cold-junction-compensated, or do I have to read the CJC voltage as a separate channel, and apply the correction factor manually on my block diagram (like we had to do in the old days)?

I gather that the data that I read, which is obviously scaled to engineering units, is, indeed, cold-junction compensated, but I would like to be certain
that that is the case. Thanks."

Wes;

You are right in your considerations.
If you select the built in CJC when setting a virtual channel up, the CJC will be automaticaly inserted in the channel reading when using that virtual channel.

Does that mean that when you configure one virtual channel
1) you get two readings in your application
or
2) that your reading is linerized when returned to the application
