Temperature sensor in up to 800 C degrees aplication

You could use relays to switch each thermocouple in turn to one thermocouple amplifier. This will introduce cold-end error due to the metal missmatch at the thermocouple connections. You can either choose to ignore the error (20degC or so) or it can be compensated for by having and RTD measure ambient temperature, which is then subtracted from the measured temperature.
