This application was developed for a college project using LabVIEW environment. The implemented thermometer allows the measurement of the temperature with the help of the analog temperature sensor LM335.
The measured temperature is displayed on the front panel, in numerical format, by means of indicators, both in Celsius degrees and Kelvin degrees. The temperature in Celsius degrees is also displayed by means of a thermometer type indicator and by means of two 7-segment displays. The time evolution of the measured temperature is presented by means of a graph. The measured values for the temperature are saved in a file.

The thermometer was implemented in the LabVIEW environment.
Figure 2. The LabVIEW implementation.
The measured temperature is compared with an upper limit and a lower limit. Exceeding one of the 2 limits is indicated using 2 LED type indicators (a blue indicator is used for the lower limit and a red indicator is used for the upper limit). The 2 limits can be set from the front panel. The practical implementation was done using an arduino MEGA.
