5850E MFCs and Type K thermocouples be controlled by LabView

[FALM19]

Hi everyone, 

    I am building a new reactors and I have 11 5850 E Brooks mass flow controllers and 6 zones to be heated using PID controllers and want to monitor temperature of 15 zones all thermal zones are connected by Type K wires, the question is: is it possible to control all of these by LabView and what hardware do I need from NI to accommodate their communication with a computer.  I am a beginner in this field and at least I need documents or any kind of guidance that you think would help.

Hi FALM,

from a quick search it seems those 5850E MFCs use a simple analog interface, so you need a DAQ device capable to measure and output the needed voltage/current signals. I suggest to call your local NI sales guy to assist you in selecting them…

I did call them yesterday and gave them what I need and still waiting to hear from them.
