Removing NI SC Express Modules

Create a Simulated Device

To run examples without the hardware installed, use an NI-DAQmx simulated device. To create a 
simulated device in MAX:

1.

Launch MAX.

2.

Right-click 

Devices and Interfaces»Create New

.

3.

From the dialog, select 

Simulated NI-DAQmx Device or Modular Instrument

.

4.

Type 

4353

 in the text box at the top of the window.

5.

Select the device from the list provided.

6.

Click 

OK

Cold-Junction Compensation

Cold-junction compensation is the process of measuring the temperature of the screw terminal junction 
for the thermocouple and applying a representative compensating voltage to the voltage measured by 
the thermocouple channel. The accuracy of the cold-junction temperature measurement is a key part of 
the accuracy of the overall thermocouple temperature measurement. The TB-4353 is carefully designed 
to ensure high-accuracy cold-junction temperature measurements, under a variety of conditions; 
however, care must be taken to ensure the best possible accuracy. Refer to th

Minimizing Thermal 

Gradients

 section for guidelines to minimize thermal gradients that could impact the CJC accuracy.
