How to connect thermistor into 2 units of T7 Pro paralley

Hi, My application is to have primary system and secondary system works in parallel to collect data. In any chase i do have data if either one system fails.

I need to connect, total of 20 thermistor's   parallel  on 2 units of  T7pro. Please do advice on the schematic. Do i need to add any TJTick?

There is a quick note about

There is a quick note about thermistors on our Temperature Sensors App Note:

https://labjack.com/support/app-notes/temperature-sensors

We recommend the LJTick-Resistance for handling thermistors:

https://labjack.com/support/datasheets/accessories/ljtick-resistance

The T7-Pro has 14 analog inputs, so to get 20 analog inputs you need to add a Mux80 or use 2 T7-Pros.

Once you have 1 system setup, you just run a wire from each analog input in system 1 to an analog input in system 2, such that both systems are measure the same voltages (which are the output voltages from the LJTRs).

Hi, I did order the following

Hi, I did order the following thermistors

EPCOS Thermistor 10k Ohm, 2.41 (Dia) X 6.5 mm

Referring to ljtick-resistance, is that ljtick-resistance 10k ohm will do for my application?

Thank you

As a first guess, for a 10k

As a first guess, for a 10k thermistor you would often choose the LJTick-Resistance-10k.  For more guidance see "Choosing the 1k, 10k, 100k, or 1M Version" here:

Hi, thank you for information

Hi, thank you for information. i did purchase 2 unit of T7 with LJTRs. 1st unit of T7(A unit) i did connect the LJTRs with thermistor. The 2nd unit of T7 (B unit), i did loop wire from A unit at the point from labjack terminal to B unit at point of labjack terminal. Looping from just between AIN n to AIN n only.

A unit device interface with raspberry pi 3

B unit device interface with SCADA window base system. Seems doesn't work. Please do advice.
