Implementation of Thermistor Linearization Using LabVIEW

Thermistor nonlinearity is an important problem in the applications of temperature measurement. Much research has been devoted to accurate linearization but typical methods still involve complicated circuits or require algorithms for training neural networks. In this report, we demonstrate how programs for thermistor linearization involving a series or parallel resistor can be easily implement in the LabVIEW environment. The goal of this study is to define and demonstrate a technique for determining the optimal resistor value.
