Software solution for control and data acquisition in the pulse calorimetry method

Abstract

This work presents a software solution for adjusting, controlling, displaying, and acquiring parameters and data in the pulse calorimetry experimental technique for specific heat capacity, electrical resistivity, total hemispherical emissivity, and normal spectral emissivity measurements. The software has been developed under the LabVIEW platform, V.7.11, and an example of its application with measurement results is presented in a separate section. The total expanded uncertainty of obtained results for the specific heat capacity and electrical resistivity of palladium was 5% and 1 - 2%, respectively.
