Scaling VIs

Owning Palette: Numeric Functions

Requires: Base Development System. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the Scaling VIs to convert voltage readings to other temperature or strain units.

Palette ObjectDescription
Convert RTD ReadingConverts a voltage you read from an RTD into temperature in Celsius. Wire data to the RTDvolts input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Convert Strain Gauge ReadingConverts a voltage read from a strain gauge to units of strain. Wire data to the Vsg input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Convert Thermistor ReadingConverts a thermistor voltage into a temperature. This VI has different modes of operation for voltage-excited and current-excited thermistors. Wire data to the Voltage input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Convert Thermocouple ReadingConverts a voltage reading from a thermocouple into a temperature value. Wire data to the Voltage Waveform (waveform), Voltage Array (array), or Thermocouple Voltage (scalar) input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Note  This VI does not work with the NI 9211 C Series module. Instead, use the NI 9211 Convert to Temperature VI located in the labview\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9211\NI 9211 Support Files.llb directory.
Degrees to RadiansConverts data from degrees to radians.
Radians per Second to RPMConverts data from radians per second to revolutions per minute (RPM).
Radians to DegreesConverts data from radians to degrees.
RPM to Radians per SecondConverts data from revolutions per minute (RPM) to radians per second.
