I'm currently using LabView 7.0 XTinScan.Vi to view multi Thermocouple channels 0-15. If I remove or open a thermocouple location all my channels will read open (-9999.99). If I use Tin.Vi for a single channel, how do I setup a loop to view all 16 channels. I would like to setup my files to log to any excel file. Suggestions on how to resolve these problems will be greatly appreciated. I'm new to LabView, data acquistion, and softwire so bare with me. Thanks Lin
