Objective:
To perform conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius and determining if its below
or above freezing using Lab view Application.

Discussion:
Labview is a graphical programming environment that student can use to
quickly develop application that scale across multiple platforms and OS. The power
of labview is in its ability to interface with thousands of devices and instruments
using hundreds of built in libraries and prebuilt Vis to help you accelerate
development time and quickly acquire, analyse and present data.

Materials:
Lab view application and Laptop

Procedure:
1. Open the Lab view Application.
2. Click create Blank page
3. Go to the block diagram form and find for while loop icon. Drag the
while loop to the Block diagram form.
4. Go to the front panel form and find the stop button icon. Drag the stop
icon button to the form
5. From the block diagram stop button will appear. Connect the stop
button icon to while loop condition terminal, and go back to the front
panel form again.
6. From front panel clock modern> numeric > numeric control. Then drag
numeric control to the front panel. Rename it as Fahrenheit
7. From front panel click Modern>Numeric>Thermometer. Then drag
thermometer to the form and rename it as Celsius
8. From front panel click Modern>Numeric>Boolean>Round LED then
drag to the form and rename it as Below Freezing.
9. Place a subtract node at the right side of the Fahrenheit icon. By right
click go to the Programming>Numeric>subtract. Connect the output
terminal of the Fahrenheit to the upper input of subtract node.

10.Right click the bottom input of subtraction and select create>constant

and enter value of 32
11.Place a multiply node at the right side of Subtract node. The output of
subtract node will be connected to the upper right of the multiply
node. Below the subtract node create a divide node by right click
Programming>Numeric> Divide.
12.Right click the upper input of divide node and select Create>Constant
and assign value of 5. Then click for the lower input of divide node
select Create>constant and assign value of 9. The output terminal of
divide node will be connected on the bottom input of subtract node.
13.Place a less than zero comparison node at the right side of multiply
node. The output of multiply node will be connected to the input of less
than zero and Celsius. The output of Less than zero will be connected
to the below freezing point node
14.Go to the front panel, click operate and run.
15.Test the program if its working.
16.Close the lab view application.

Data
Analysis:

To determine
the freezing point of the given
Fahrenheit value, first we must subtract
32 from the given Fahrenheit then the
answer will be multiply by 5 then it will be divided to 9. The answer will be the
equivalent value of Fahrenheit to Celsius. If the Value of Fahrenheit is from 0-31 the
Below Freezing will turn on and if its 32 above the Below Freezing turn off.
