Convert Thermocouple Reading (waveform)

	Temperature Units is the units of temperature the VI outputs. This input accepts the following values. 0 Celsius 1 Fahrenheit 2 Kelvin 3 Rankine
	Voltage Waveform is a waveform of voltages read from a thermocouple.
	ThermocoupleType can be B, E, J, K, R, S, T, or N. This input accepts the following values. Refer to your thermocouple user manual for more information about thermocouple types. 0 B 1 E 2 J 3 K 4 R 5 S 6 T 7 N
	CJC Voltage is the cold-junction compensation reference voltage. The CJC Voltage parameter is either the IC sensor or the thermistor sensor, as specified by CJC Sensor.
	CJC Sensor is the type of cold-junction compensation sensor you are using. A CJC Sensor value of 0 selects the IC sensor. A CJC Sensor value of 1 selects the thermistor sensor.
	Type of Excitation indicates the voltage and current reference. This input accepts the following values. 0 Voltage Reference 1 Current Reference
	Temperature Waveform returns the linearized temperature value in the units specified in Temperature Units.
