− | 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 keep it on until either the temperature climbs too high or a user has indicated a stop or stop condition. The program outputs commands to a netbooter, which is the hotplate's voltage source, and reads inputs from thermistors through a DAQ. | + | The temperature control program is a LabView VI, which checks and regulates the temperature of the [[Fiber Heating Box]].
