agilent 34970A EZ Temperature VI operation principle

[newbieeng]

I am trying to acquire temperature via Agilent 34970A DAQ and its module 34901A. I wired 20 thermocouples to the 34901A module and tried to scan it with the attached VI. but while I am running the program I just see one plot on the waveformchart. I want to see all 20 temperature values simultaneously. How could I do it?

You really should be keeping Context Help open and reviewing what it says. When you move your mouse over the chart on the block diagram, you will see that the correct data type for multiple plots is a cluster of the values. Use the Array to Cluster function and be sure to right click on it to select the cluster size.

Thank you Dennis. I already use Context Help but it is not well explanatory help. I wonder that whether the EZ temperature vi shows all temperature values simultaneously or not. I mean the Agilent 34970A is capable of scanning 60 channel per minute. If I wired 20 thermocouples to the Agilent 34901A module, could I see 20 scanned temperature values on my screen via EZ temperature vi? I am now at the home so I have no chance to try your suggestion till Monday. But I will try it. Thanks for your endless support.
