To Automate the following process - tell me the program

Fuel is injected into a closed chamber with transparent quartz window for taking images of
uel
the fuel spray. The sequence of steps involved in the testing are listed below which I wish
to automate using LabVIEW.

The chamber is filled with high pressure nitrogen gas through a solenoid as shown
ith
nitrogen
in the picture. Once required pressure level is attained inside the chamber, the
inlet solenoid valve is closed. A pressure sensor (0 – 5V) is used as a feedback to
time the closing of the inlet solenoid valve.
(Opening and closing of the inlet solenoid valve based on the pressure
nd
sensor feedback signal
signal)

The chamber is placed on a heater surface. There is a thermocouple inserted into
the chamber. If the temperature (feedback from thermocouple) is less than the set
temperature the heater is switched ON and it is switched OFF when the feedback
from the thermocouple is equal to the set temperature.(Switch ON and OFF the
heater based on thermocouple feedback signal)
After switching OFF the heater- the injector, camera and Flash light are triggered
at the same time for 10 set of injections. ( Pulsed Square wave of different
pulse width is used to trigger the injector, camera and flash light –
Triggering happens after switching the heater OFF)
After 10 set of injections, the exhaust solenoid valve is opened in order to purge
the fuel through a vacuum pump. The exhaust solenoid is switched on for 6
seconds and then switched off.(Switch ON for 6 seconds and then switch OFF
the solenoid)

Even if someone were willing to write your program for you - unlikely, unless you're willing to pay for it - you haven't given nearly enough information to do it.  Do you have any hardware?  How are you acquiring the data?  How do you trigger the camera?  If you break this down into smaller projects and start working on them yourself, we might be able to help you when you run into problems.

The NI forums are a great place to get help. If you share your ideas and code developed so far, someone might be able to help you.

 

If you don't have the experience or time to do this your self, NI has the Alliance Program. Alliance members have experience in various fields and are certified by NI for the tools they work with.

 

This problem almost reads like a "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment; sealed chamber, on/off, current state... Cat Tongue

If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.
