Monitoring Thermocouple Temperature on Labview

In our project we are trying to get different temperature values from different thermocouples connected to our NI DAQ.When we run the program we get different temperature values from .xls file but we cannot monitor this different temperature values on Labview front panel's thermometer digital display .Even we connected different thermometers we get the same temperature value in all digital displays.Could you please help us to monitor different temperature values on digital display.

Hey tata,
I think what you are looking for is the "Split Signals" VI, shown below in the code snippet. It lets you split the data wire into each of the corresponding thermocouple data values.
I hope that this helps.

Firstly hello to all. I'm looking to create a vi that will take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time say 1minuet.

Firstly hello to all. I’m looking to create a vi that will
take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and
produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time
say 1minuet. I have managed to find a couple of examples on the forum but one
will only run on V8.2 and I have V8, the other is for more than one channel
witch is fine I can always reduce this, but it was the timing feature I was
having difficulty with. I looking to monitor the temperature of a motor until
it has stabilised prior to testing and then to use this temperature as a
reference. Pleas forgive my ignorance if this is a very simple thing but I’ am
learning and really enjoying it. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi
Graham, thank you for you reply.
What I’ am trying to achieve is a vi I can use in a motor
testing setup, a part of this would be to warm the motor up until the exhaust
air temperature has stabilised, this takes approximately 10 minuets. I was
thinking of just letting the motor run for this time and leave it at this, but
some motors warm up quicker that others and. I am basically looking for a vi with
an adjustable temperature window of say ±5 C° in 1° increments, timing wise 1minuet
to 10min the adjustment is so I a can use this for another application. I tried
to adjust the code I found at the link below but had a little difficulty with
the timing. Thank you so much for your help it’s much appreciated.

What's the best way to monitor rMBP temperature

I have istat, Ultra Fans, SMC Fan control and xscan. Not a single one of them consistently reports the same termperature. I'm at a loss to understand why I bother with any of them as all appear to report differnetly. Is there a better alternative within the OS? Surely Apple has a builtin method of monitoring termperature.

Temperature Monitor provides a view of all sensors and can be adjusted to display the specific sensors you wish to monitor. Istat, Ultra fan and SMC source data from specific sensors but not always the same sensor. Once I instralled Temperature Monitor it became apparent each of the programs was gathering data from potentially different sensors. While I was originally frustrated and belieiving the programs were reporting incorrect information they were in fact accurately reporting the sensor information they were accessing. The beauty of Temperature Monitor is it gives you a view of all sensors.

Would like to monitor and control a labview application with a hand held device.
Would like to use a palm or ipac on a local area network or communicate directly with the PC running windows.

LabVIEW doesn't run on a hand held device. But, check out these documents:

How do i monitor the temperature

Hi, how do i monitore the temperature of my macbook C2D? what is the normal temp of the macbook?
Thanks

Many ways to see those numbers. I use the iStat pro widget:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
wich gives a lot of useful info. As for normal operating temperature, some macbooks run cooler than others. My temperature at idle (not start up) is in the low 50s (celsius). Fans start to ramp up in the low 60s, and won't let the temp climb up to more than, say, 78-80, under a very heavy work load.

Monitoring CPU Temperature?

Does anyone know of any software that will read out my CPU's temperature. I'm sure there is but just don't know where to find it. Thanks

Oy, oy, oy.
If you’re going to run this marginal software, for god’s sake don’t leave it running, especially on battery power! It’ll run you batter down far faster than any of the so-called whine-stopping fixes. It genereates excessive CPU load and constant disk activity (that will prevent the disk from spinning down, e.g.).
Get some real utility software. Use Bresink’s Hardware Monitor or Temperature Monitor.

How to monitor GPU temperature?

Hi dears.
Recently I changed my HD3870's fan with the Arctic Cooler Accelero S1 Rev.2 silent cooler. This is much more silent than the stock fan installed on the Video card.
So the question is: how do I monitor GPU temperature to check if all is ok? In the event of too much hot GPU can I cause problems to all the system or only to GPU?
Thank's a lot.
Regards.

I use this app to monitor my iMac's overall temperature: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol
If the computer appears over 120ºF/130ºF, you can use the slide bars to increase the fan speed. Mac computers can still pretty easily run at around 210ºF, but the cooler you keep it, the better. Personally, I keep my iMac at roughly 100º.

How to do channel settings on the labview when acquiring thermocouple temperatures

Hello,
Am new iin using Labview, and am now using version 5.1.My problem is how do i set the number of channels that corresponds to the number of channel connected on the board.
Also how do i specify the type of thermocouple to be used.

I am using fieldpoint and labview to log and monitor the temperatures of my system. but i am not using Labview 6i with DSC, how can i do it??

i am using fieldpoint 2.0 and labview 6i to monitor my system, but i think i don't have labview DSC.

I have written a relatively large Fieldpoint application "just" using LV5.1 FDS, so it can be done.
Fieldpoint can be seen as an external instrument, so you need to use the driver/vi's that comes with FP.
I believe using DSC would only make the job easier for you.

K-Thermocouple, temperature range, usb 6008...

Hi,
I seem to have a problem with the temperature range with my USB 6008 board. When I connect a calibrator to it (to simulate a K-thermocouple), I can only measure temperatures between 0 and 100°C. What I would need to measure are temperatures around 500°C...
Do you know how I could overcome this problem ?
I understand the USB 6008 it is not the best board for thermocouple measuring, especially with a K type one, but it is the only one I've got...
Thanks a lot !

The voltage is 5V, and the thermocouple is already grounded.
Enclosed is the VI I created. Now regarding the measurements, the values between 0 and 100°C are not correct, but I believe a "formula task" in the VI will take care of that. In fact, I have a range of approximately 7.5°C (ie 0°C on the
calibrator give me 0°C on LabView, and 100°C on the calibrator give me
7.5°C on LabView). When I reach 100°C, the values hit a ceiling and stay constant, whatever higher temperature I set with the calibrator.
Concerning the CJC, I basically use the default value (25). I tried changing it, but the consequences were minimal.
Is there a potentiometer on the board that could change this faulty range ? I didn't dare open the box yet...
Cheers,
K

How to monitor hard disk in labview 8.2

Hi ,
I want to using labview 8.2 program to monitor hard disk(one folder in hard disk) for example one application generate a result file to the folder then it will be captured by labview program.
thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What exactly are you trying to monitor? If the file is created? If the file is changed?
Without resorting to some operating system specific options the only thing you can do is to poll the file information on a periodic basis to see if it has changed. For example, the File/Directory Info function will tell you the modication date. That same function can be used to check for the existence of the file by looking at the error code. In fact, that's exactly what the "Check if File or Folder Exists" VI does.
If you want a more "event-based" scheme then you can try something that's OS-specific. For example, on Windows you can use .NET by making use of the FileSystemWatcher class (http://forums.ni.com/t5/tag/FileSystemWatcher/tg-p/board-id/170)

1-wire temperature in LabView

Hi
I'm trying to write a driver for 1-wire (www.ibutton.com) to LabView.
For starters I didn't have any contact at all! But now I can read the uniqe ID from temperature sensors connected to both my USB and my RS232 adapter.
And then the fun stops.
I can not communicate with the temperature chips (DS1920 & DS1822) I can't even get the IsTemperatureContainer to reply with a true.
Does anyone have the time to review my code and maybe suggest changes?
You can request a free samlpe at www.ibutton.com I recomend getting a DS1920 and a DS9490B for testing purposes, order sampels from here: http://www.maxim-ic.com/samplescart.cfm
You need to have the OWAPI installed (http://db.maxim-ic.com/ibutton/example/)......
But if you know a better way or can use one of the other API's please let me know. I just need to read the temperature, how it's done is not important (except it has to be done with LabView).
Please help, this is very urgent.
J;-)

I am trying to do the same with DS18S20.
I plan on using a DS2480 to convert 1-Wire to RS232.
I need to use simple ASCII commands which I plan to write a Automated test program in LabVIEW.
Should I get HA7E is a RS232 to 1-Wire interface? or can HA2 - RS232 1-Wire Host Adapter do the same function?
I have a DS1820 I need to use the CRC algorithm Specified by Dallas and
perform the following Tests:
Read 64 bit ROM of DS18S20, Resultant byte from CRC algorithm must match
the eight (last) byte of ROM.
Read 72 bit Scratchpad of DS18S20, Resultant byte from CRC algorithm must
match the ninth (last) byte of Scratchpad.
Next, I have to:
TH byte is downloaded from E2 memory to scratchpad. TH byte in scratchpad
is read.
TL byte is downloaded from E2 memory to scratchpad. TL byte in scratchpad
is read.
Finally, I need to read Temperature, which is read via data in
bytes 0,1,6 & 7 of the Scratchpad.
Can I accomplish this by MANUALLY typing the commands over the RS-232 Comm
Port from a PC?????
If anyone has any comments or am I taking the correct path? your help appreciated.
Thanks

How do I monitor CPU temperature on a 2009 MacBook Air Lion

My beloved 2009 MacBook AIr is freezing up. I think it is overheating. How can I monitor the CPU temp to see if this is the problem?
The Apple Store folk thought the SSD drive has gone bad, but they wanted $799.00 to replace it. I bought a new 2013 MacBook Air, but returned it because the screen had a purplish haze to it and the contrast was poor (to my eyes). I love my 2009 MacBook Air screen, so I want to fix it.

Download from the Internet iStat pro or Temperature Monitor from the Bresink web site.

I like IStat pro because it also displays the fan speed.
Ciao.

Monitoring CPU temperature on a Digital Audio

Does anyone know of any downloadable CPU monitoring software out there that will work on a Digital Audio? Temperature Monitor doesn't work on this model (although I think it used to work on a Sawtooth), but it would a great utility to have.

Hello! Welcome to the Forums!
Sadly, there is no real way to obtain the temperature of the CPU in G4 models before Mirror Drive Doors. Those models lack the cpu sensor to report temperature. You might have to search xlr8yourmac.com or use Google to do a search for how to get CPU temperature from a Digital Audio G4.
The technology of those G4s doesn't include a sensor for temperature reporting.
