DAQmxCreateAIDeviceTempChan
int32 DAQmxCreateAIDeviceTempChan (TaskHandle taskHandle, const char physicalChannel[], const char nameToAssignToChannel[], int32 units);
Purpose
Creates channel(s) that use a sensor built into a terminal block or device to measure temperature and adds the channel(s) to the task you specify with taskHandle. On SCXI modules, for example, this could be the CJC sensor.
Parameters
| Input | |||||||||||||||||
| Name | Type | Description | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| taskHandle | TaskHandle | The task to which to add the channels that this function creates. | |||||||||||||||
| physicalChannel |
|
The names of the physical channels to use to create virtual channels. You can specify a list or range of physical channels. | |||||||||||||||
| nameToAssignToChannel |
|
The name(s) to assign to the created virtual channel(s). If you do not specify a name, NI-DAQmx uses the physical channel name as the virtual channel name. If you specify your own names for nameToAssignToChannel, you must use the names when you refer to these channels in other NI-DAQmx functions. If you create multiple virtual channels with one call to this function, you can specify a list of names separated by commas. If you provide fewer names than the number of virtual channels you create, NI-DAQmx automatically assigns names to the virtual channels. |

| units | int32 | The units to use to return the measurement.
