Hello!
I need to make a simple temperature controller using LabView.
For that project I'm going to use this module
https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/model/usb-tc01.html
There are couple vi's to use it as temperature logger, alarm and so on (example is attached below)
I also have FLuke power supply PM2811 to control my thermometric element.
The power supply is connected to PC through GPIB interface,so I can easy set up current and voltage values from LabView (the vi is also attached).
I'm not familiar with LabView in general and particularly how to do temperature
control. I found couple vi examples with the PID temperature control (like this
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1445 ). This algorithm looks a bit too
complicated for me as for beginner and more over I don't need so high accuracy
for my
application.The temperature range for my project is between 0 C and 75 C with
accuracy
about 0.5-1.0 degree. Could someone recommend vi's to start with and which could
be
used as relativity simple examples to get familiar with temperature
control
using LabView features? Basically, I need to combine temperature logger vi for NI USB-TC01, the power supply contronl vi and some basic vi to control feedback. Will appreciate any suggestion!
Regards, Alex

Hello Alex;
The example you linked in your post uses FieldPoint which is very different to what you are looking for.
