LAB # 02
Temperature Converter
OBJECT:
Follow instructions to design a virtual temperature converter using NI LabVIEW Software.

THEORY:
Introduction:
In bioinstrumentation, accurate temperature measurement and conversion are critical for
various applications, including physiological monitoring and environmental control.
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) provides an intuitive
platform for developing virtual instruments that can process and convert temperature readings
from one scale to another (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit).

Temperature Converter:
LabVIEW, a graphical programming environment, facilitates the development of a
temperature converter by allowing users to create an interactive interface. The front panel
incorporates input fields for temperature values and selection controls for the desired scales.
In the block diagram, conversion logic is implemented using mathematical functions and case
structures to manage different conversion scenarios. This approach not only simplifies the
process of temperature data conversion but also enhances usability, making it suitable for
various scientific and biomedical applications. By leveraging LabVIEW's capabilities, we can
create an efficient tool for accurate temperature measurements and conversions.
In this project, we demonstrate six key temperature conversions:
Celsius to Fahrenheit:
F = C x 9/5 + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C = (F – 32)x 5/9
Celsius to Kelvin:
K = C + 273.15
Kelvin to Celsius:
C = K - 273.15
Kelvin to Fahrenheit:
F = (K - 273.15) x 9/5
