Continuous Thermocouple Measurement with an N-Type Thermocouple

Primary Software: LabVIEW Run-Time Engine
Primary Software Version: 7.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: The Continuous Thermocouple Measurement.vi shipping example does not have the N-type thermocouple as a selectable type.

Solution: The T->V and V->T voltage/temperature conversion sub vi's within the example are equipped for conversion of N-Type thermocouple readings, so the program can be easily modified by adding "N" to the ring control in the top level vi and the Thermo Linear sub vi. Just make sure the N label in the rings are both set for value 7 for the two associated case structures. A copy of the modified example is attached below.

The Continuous Thermocouple Measurement VI is used to read multiple temperatures from each channel. Enter your Device number, Thermocouple Type, Cold Junction Channel, CJC Sensor, Temperature Range in Deg C, and the Channels you want to read. Run the VI. View the help window description of each control for more information about its use.
