Dear Labview Users,
I was following the thermometer vi on the cnx.org website and I am having issues getting a consistent reading from my thermocouple. The tutorial tells us to get a voltage input from the thermocouple so I put the leads of the thermocouple into the pins labview designated for sensing the voltage. It says to leave it in differential mode and so I did that. The problem I am having is that when the differential amplifier is connected to ground the thermocouple reading does not change. When I do not put in a reference ground the thermocouple readings go haywire but gives some kind of reading when I touch the thermocouple even though it is off by hundereds. I am guessing that how I physically hooked up the thermocuple to the board could be the problem or maybe there is some sort of filtering icon missing that I need to put in. I am using a daq 6016.
