SCC-TC02 gives wild numbers

LV 6.1 with PCI-6052E & SC-2345 c/w 4 only SCC-TC02
Platform OS 9.2 Macintosh
Configured with NI-DAQ for Non Referenced Single Ended.
Measured with the following:
SCC-TC0x.vi
Continuous Thermocouple Measurement.vi
Single Point Thermocouple Measurement.vi

The temperature is not only off it is off by several magnitudes.

Does anyone know the secret or is this another device that is not supported on the Mac that NI forgot to mention?

Did you try differential coupling?

The galvanic potential of thermocouples is on the order of millivolts and subject to outside noise.

RL,
According to this KnowledgeBase, the SCC-TC02 is supported.
What SCC Modules are Supported in NI-DAQ 6.6.0 for Mac OS?

Perhaps your module is damaged. Are all channels off, or just a few? Have you applied any software scaling? Have you applied a known voltage such as a battery? These are just some ideas to help troubleshoot. Hope they help.
