The temperature control program is a LabView VI, which checks and regulates the temperature of the [[Fiber Heating Box]]. Once the program is initiated it will turn on the hotplate in the heating box and regulate the temperature until either the box gets dangerously hot or a user indicated stop condition has been met. The program outputs commands to a netbooter, which is the hotplate's voltage source, and reads inputs from thermistors through a DAQ.

The front panel displays a waveform chart, which will display each temperature measurement, digital temperature and time displays, and various controls to set parameters.
