The initialization of the DAQ section leads directly into the temperature conversion and storage section. Here the voltage readings are converted to temperature in Fahrenheit with an equation block. The temperature values are then all merged into one wire connected to a waveform chart, which displays the temperatures separately on a line graph (waveform chart) on the front panel. The combined signals are also sent to a user defined VI named TemperatureSpread, which stores the highest temperature out of all the signals in a variable called Highest Temperature. Each individual temperature value in fahrenheit is converted to celsius and displayed (in both fahrenheit and celsius) on the front panel. Additionally, each temperature in Fahrenheit is stored as a variable named after the location of its respective thermistor. These variables are combined and stored as one variable called WriteToFile (this section of the code is above the Initialization of the DAQ section at the time of this documentation). WriteToFile connects to a "save to measurement file" block, which itself is in a case structure that skips saving the data if there are zero or not a number (NaN) values coming from the DAQ.
