Temperature control with NI USB-TC01

Hello!
I need to make a simple temperature controller using LabView.
For that project I'm going to use this module 
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/208177

There are couple vi's to use it as temperature logger, alarm and so on (example is attached below)
I also have FLuke power supply PM2811 to control my thermometric element.

The power supply is connected to PC through GPIB interface,so I can easy set up current and voltage values from LabView  (the vi is also attached). 
I'm not familiar with LabView in general and particularly how to do temperature 
control. I found couple vi examples with the PID temperature control (like this 
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1445). This algorithm looks a bit too 
complicated for me as for beginner and more over I don't need so high accuracy 
for my 
application.The temperature range for my project is between 0 C and 75 C with 
accuracy 
about 0.5-1.0 degree. Could someone recommend vi's to start with and which could 
be 
used as relativity simple examples to get familiar with temperature 
control 
using LabView features?  Basically, I need to combine temperature logger vi for NI USB-TC01, the power supply contronl vi and some basic vi to control feedback. Will appreciate any suggestion! 

Regards, Alex

Hello Alex;

 

The example you linked in your post uses FieldPoint which is very different to what you are looking for, here is an example that uses DAQmx, that is more similar to what you need, however it does not integrate the GPIB communication of your device, that would be something that you need to integrate there.
