Making a thermometer w/LV

[arteta]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm on a project with LabView and i need to make "some thing" to desmonstrate the features of the program. I've tried to trigger some LEDs through LPT port and now i need to make somekind of DAQ device. i've just think of making a thermometer with LabVIEW (from scratch) and wondering if it's complex or not. Can u help me firgure out the way to do it or another idea about a simple DAQ device? Thank U in advance and sorry if my English is not good.

@michael: my cofee tastes terrible this morning, and I should be at work allready, but ...

it is an easy task, and it should be done quickly - with the adequate basic know how, which you can get from the

--> example finder (help -> find examples)

and the

--> quick start tutorial (C:\Programm Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW XXX\manuals\gtstrtlv.pdf)

one of the cheapest (and easy to use) DAQ devices is a NI-USB-6008, which should provide sufficient accuracy for a PT 100, if you want to use a thermocouple, you need a device with a better ADC ...
