Thomas,
What you have to do is a 2D interpolation.
1) Create a 2D array, Let's say 200x50 points.
2) Define your 6? temperature values and their XY-location.
3) Choose the algoritm.
Example of a simple algoritm:
For every point in the array, look at he 3 closest measurement points and calculate their distance to the point (d²=(x-x1)²+(y-y1)²)
Define the temperature for the point by middling out: (T1/d1+T2/d2+T3/d3)/3*(d1+d2+d3)/3
You could take more or less points, do the interploation linear/quadratic/...
There are other/better ways, have a look in the NI-examples, have a seach on "splines" and "2D"
The examples are very good, and clearly explained in the vi. No need to duplicate that here.
My example is just to show a solution with basic maths.
Keep in mind the difference between 6 measurements, and 6 heat sources.
