SCXI 1112 and 1302 doesn't run at the same time

Hi,
 
I have SCXI 1112 thermocouple input module,  SCXI 1180 feedthrough panel , and a SCXI 1302 terminal block connected SCXI 1000 chassis with SCXI 1349 adapter. I am trying to measure voltage by using SCXI 1180&1302, and temperature by 1112 module at the same time. When  chassis is on SCXI 1112 runs without a problem; however, voltage reading coming through SCXI 1349 makes no sense (plus I can't run them at the same time, LAbview gives an error). While the chassis' power is off, it is the other way around, SCXI 1349 runs smoothly.
 
In addition to that, a radiometer, connected to a power supply, is wired to SCXI 1302 terminal block. When power supply is on, SCXI 1112 module's temperature reading is 4 times higher than actual value. In other words, power supply effects the readings.
 
Could you please give me some advice to solve this problem?
 
Thanks,
 
Azra

One piece of the puzzle you left out is the DAQ card being used in the host computer. 

Without looking at some specifics on the SCXI cards/connectors you are using, I will comment you must be careful when you are using an 1180 feedthrough module.  Keep in mind, the SCXI chassis is Signal Conditioning -- it's nothing without the DAQ. 

I would recommend you back up a few steps, simplify the setup and test each input channel from MAX -- making sure you aren't overlapping channels between the 1180 to the DAQ and the SCXI chassis.  Remember, most data from the SCXI chassis comes in on a single channel of the DAQ through the 1349.

Hope this might help.
