January 9, 2013

I will finish soldering the chip and all of its connections today. I plan to then test it out with the DAQ and LabView program. I will have to tin the thermocouple wires in order to solder them properly. If, and only if, the testing goes well I will make a duplicate circuit so that each thermocouple has its own integrated circuit, and each had a single ended connector that runs to the DAQ. In this way, we will be able to swap out thermocouples quickly and easily.
