Thermocouple Reads a Large Negative Value When Connected to My SCXI ChassisHardware: SCXI>>Modules>>SCXI-1100, SCXI>>Modules>>SCXI-1102
Problem: Why does my thermocouple measure a value on the order of -1000 degrees when hooked up through my SCXI chassis? Solution: When you create a Traditional NI-DAQ Virtual Channel or DAQmx Task in MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) for a temperature measurement, the physical channel to measure must be a channel on the SCXI module, not on the DAQ card in your computer. In Traditional DAQ: In the Channel Wizard, choose the SCXI module from the drop down menu when prompted "What DAQ hardware will be used?" In DAQmx: In the Create New Task Wizard, choose an ai (analog input) channel from the SCXI module when prompted to choose "Supported Physical Channels." If the SCXI modules do not show up in MAX, or for help configuring the SCXI chassis, virtual channels, or DAQmx tasks, consult the SCXI Quick Start Guide (linked below).
