Lab View and Thermistors
Objectives:
a) Become familiar with LabVIEW, a “Graphical” programming
software that allows the user to use block diagrams and graphical
representations instead of writing computer code to “build” a
measurement system.
b) Become familiar with “Thermistors” to measure temperature
(and their non-linear output characteristics)
c) Use a simple voltage divider circuit to give a voltage output signal
across thermistor.
d) Understand the many applications this program provides in
industry, particularly in data acquisition systems.

Discussion of Results:
Explain how LabVIEW is used to set up a measurement system
and acquire data. Take screenshots of your Block Diagram and
Front Panel to aid in your discussion.
