Heater Control

[hookes2]

Thank you so much RavensFan (Knight of NI),
I think the on/off controller is simpler and I might be going with it. I took a cursory look at the examples in LabVIEW for an on-off controller but it seems I'm not able to relate it with connecting with my DAQ. This will be my first control project.

Glad you found a solution.

Many thanks to you all. Apart from finding a solution to my problem, I also learnt a new lesson. I usually overlook questions that people post on the forum even when I obviously have a solution to it hoping someone else does it. From now on, I have resolved within myself to be active on this forum and help as many people as I can help. Thanks once again. With love from Nigeria!
