Compatibility of K Thermocouple with NI USB 6008

Hi,

 

I have troubles choosing what to buy in order to make temperature measurements with my already bought NI USB 6008.

I plan to use LabView to work with these temperature measurements and link them to other measurements made with other sensors using the same NI USB 6008.

After few researches, I think i'll need a K Thermocouple like this one : http://fr.rs-online.com/web/p/sondes-de-temperature/3428899/

But my question is : will I be able to use it by just cutting the connector and linking the cables to my NI USB 6008, or do I have to use a special system like this one : http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/fr/nid/208177

And if I need this kind of system, will I be able to use the measurements made with other sensors on the same LabView ?

 

My hesitations come from this document : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371303n.pdf

Page 13, it seems i'll have to use 2 resistors to link my K Thermocouple to my NI USB 6008, but the use of such a system will make the certification hard to obtain (this system will make part a machine).

 

Hoping that you'll help me,
