can labview used to control termometer?

[onny]

i need some help to create a project here. My project will have an NI instrument that will be able to read temperature inside the room and have it store on online database.

Is there anyway that I can create this?

I know there is a termometer reader with USB that will be able to do this and creating the online database is my problem.

Is there anyone that will be able to help me ?

thanks

Hi onny,

which hardware do you have? Have you already looked at the shipped examples?

I have found the hardware, but i havent buy it yet. Which hardware do you think will work best ?

This will be my semester project, so it cant be anything simple.

I think that hardware that i found will work good, it has USB connection to PC. 

I will update you with that hardware tomorrow.

Do you think i can record the reading to a database?

I'm still new with NI and my labview teacher moved to other job and wont be around in school anymore.

So I will need a lot of help on this one.

Thank you

Hi onny,

how many channels do you need? Yes you can write the recorded data into a database. See also this please Free LabVIEW Courses.

Hope it helps.

Hi onny,

there is a LabVIEW toolkit on your linked web site. Did you already use it? You can use LabVIEW directly to load your front panel in a webbrowser. See this search results for more information about it.

Hope it helps.

Hey Mike, i got the USB last week.

I will try to make the labview real time display on HTML.

but how can i make the database for the data recorded if you know?

im trying to create a database so that i can pull up the data recorded for future preferences.

Do you think i can do that?

thanks for your help again

Hi Onny,

There are several File I/O VIs that are built in to LabVIEW. You can use the ones that are specific to the file type you want to write. We can write a binary or ascii file. From the block diagram you can bring up the functions palette and locate the File I/O VIs under Programming>>File I/O. There are also several examples that ship with LabVIEW that can be found in the Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples). You can open Fundamentals>>File Input and Output and browse through the examples to find one that fits your application.
