Once all of these are set appropriately the run can begin. Pressing the LabView Run button on the tool bar will initiate all relevant processes and the hotplate should turn on within the first twenty seconds assuming the interior box temperature is less than 175 degrees Fahrenheit. When the netbooter is on and supplying voltage to the hotplate an indicator light on the front of the netbooter under "Power Outlet Status 1" will be on. If the program needs to be stopped in the middle of a run, the "STOP" button must be pressed; as a general rule do not end the program with the Abort Execution Labview button in the tool bar while the netbooter indicator light for outlet one is still on. If this does happen by accident, the program can be started again and the "STOP" button pressed while it is running.

The overarching logic behind the program is to turn the hotplate off when the box is too hot and on when it is too cold. All of the code is contained in a sequence structure consisting of two frames. The first frame contains nearly all of the code and is what drives all operating functions, the second frame contains a sub VI, which shuts off the netbooter's outlet one (and therefore the hotplate).
