and to make things worse, we ordered the digital output board ( NI cFP-DO-400Ĩ-Channel Sourcing Digital Output Module for Compact FieldPoint) which we supposed it's the same with that of CAMILE's. we used to use CAMILE for the chemical process control and they seem robust and simple and i found Labview is more versatile and not so easy to use. autotuning, fuzzy logic, real-time, and we only need the plain reliable PID for our temperatures.
as i said, we don't need the fancy features in the PID toolkit, e.g. for the PID control of the temperature, it's a little hard for me. i did the data acquisition part, well, that's easier. I just got the Labview 7.0 base with the compact Fieldpoint and our purpose is simple enough: to so some simple data acquisition and some temperature control. :thumbup: i found this forum full of gurus while myself is a newbie only.
