Support of other DAQmx channels

[murenrb]

I am using PyDAQmx to measure temperatures via thermocouples and a NI 9213 board. I am using the normal thermocouple DAQmx call: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370471W-01/daqmxcfunc/daqmxcreateaithrmcplchan/

This is working great when I don't use the Task object but I am wondering if these other channel types will be supported in the Task object in the future or if I can somehow add them manually. I am fairly new to Python, so this may be easy and I just don't know how to do it.

[clade]

Can you send me the python code that works without Task.

Clade,
The code is attached. I am using the standard DAQmxCreateAIThrmcplChan call
as described by NI. All I had to do was comment out the Create Voltage
Channel call and input this call. Seems like it would be trivial to make
the Task object include other standard NI calls, but I don't really know.

Let me know if I can help any other way.

Clade,
How odd, it was attached and I can still see that it was attached on this
email chain. There must be an issue with the mail clients somewhere along
the way. I have attached it again to this message and also pasted the code
below:

In order to use Task object, the following code should work. If it
doesn't, please send me the error you get (preferably using ipython).
Don't use the try .. except, so I can see where the error occurs.
