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 (data acquisition unit).

After a heating run the program will save the measured temperatures and the time at which they were measured to an excel file.

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