LabVIEW BASED TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR NEONATAL INCUBATOR

Abstract

This system used to monitor and control the sudden change in temperature in neonatal incubator depending on two parts: first is the microcontroller which is a compact integrated circuit designed to run a specific operation in an embedded system, and LabVIEW which is engineering software used for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insights. those two important parts along with other components (heaters, fans, data acquisition cards) will be used to design the desired system. This system has the properties of being cheap, easy to use, able to deal with many units as possible at the same time and finally can be operated automatically or by one person. this system will give a temporary solution for a period of time till the responsible person would fix the main problem.
