NI 9211E. The NI 9211E channels share a common ground isolated from other modules in the system. Each channel passes through a filter and then a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) samples the channel.
Specifications for the errors of each thermocouple type when connected to the NI 9211E. The errors do not account for the accuracy of the thermocouple itself. For the best accuracy results, keep temperature gradients across NI 9211E terminals to a minimum. Refer to the...
Using the Autozero Channel The NI 9211E has an internal autozero channel for measuring the offset error. If the ambient temperature of the NI 9211E is less than 15 °C or more than 35 °C, use this channel to read the offset error.

Types R, S ......<0.45 °C Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 show the typical and maximum errors each thermocouple type when used with the NI 9211E over the full temperature range. The figures also display the maximum errors for the thermocouple types with the NI 9211E at room temperature, which is 15 to 35 °C.
