Wiring the Thermocouple Input Module

In addition to following the General Considerations when using Any FLEX
I/O Analog Input Module on page 3-7,
before wiring the module, consider
the following application guideline:

Wire to Same Input Channel on Both Modules: When wiring
thermocouples, wire two in parallel to two modules. Use the same
channel on each module to make sure of consistent temperature
readings.
