hello..

im trying to read the temperature reading from this DS18B20 digital temperature sensor...

it is a 1-wire interface sensor...and its provides digital temperature measurements...

im using the DAQ USB6008 Digital I/O to read this sensor...

how can i get the exact degree C reading by using LabVIEW and this USB6008??

below is the datasheet of the temperature sensor DS18B20....

anyone can help??

You appear to be going about this the hard way.

The DS18B20 is a digital 1 wire bus device, why not use a analogue device like a RTD, TC, or thermistor?

It would be far easier.

While it can be done, I definitely would not recommend using such a device to talk to LabVIEW via a USB-6008.

If you really wanted to use the DS18B20, I would connect it to a micro (with an inbuilt 1 wire interface) with the micro reporting the temperature to LabVIEW via a serial port.

Just my opinion.
