    It has 79M? differential input impedance.
    Is there any reason I can't drive two cards with one k type thermocouple?
    Big mean angry guy says, "don't do it", I want to absolutely right before I hold my ground! I see it as a very low impedance driving two very high impedances.

    On impedance grounds, no problem with paralleling.

    But the NI cards may emit common-mode noise, and confuse one another.

    I suppose one could put some filters in to handle that kind of
    problem.
