Hi, my name is Alberto and I am a Mechanical Engineering student at UCSD. My group has been asked to design and create a control system for a Sea Water tank, that will control the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide to 1% accuracy, and the temperature of the water to 1 degree Celsius. our mentor asks that we use LabView to control our system. Do you know of any products that will help us with this project.
Thanks for any help
Albert

Hello Albert,
National Instrument's LabVIEW software is a great tool for this type of control experiment. We supply LabVIEW examples for almost all of our interfaces. However, based on what you are doing I would suggest that you focus on hardware supplied by another vendor, such as National Instruments. Here is a statement that explains why, and provides a link to some other sources:
Please note that all Vernier products are designed for educational
use only. Our equipment is not designed or recommended for research
or any apparatus involved with any industrial or commercial process
such as life support, patient diagnosis, control of a manufacturing
process, or industrial testing of any kind.
We have designed our products specifically with teachers and
classroom use in mind, and not for use in research or industry. It's
an issue of designing what we know a teacher is looking for in
science education. Features that teachers want, we try to put in.
Features that a researcher or industrial scientist might want (such
as the ability to perform well in corrosive environments like
seawater), we have left out on purpose to keep our products affordable.
Our full intended use statement and a list of alternate suppliers is
available at:

All the best,
Sam Swartley
