Introduction
In temperature measurement, the need to get accurate and stable reading is crucial since it
play major role to what we produce. Computer-based measurement system is one way that
can be used to measure temperature where the data from measurement process can be directly
use for other purpose, such as calculation and data monitoring. The purpose of this project is
to develop a computerized temperature measurement system consisting of both hardware and
software. The system developed is focus on saving time during experiment and get more
systematic result and as an alternative to conventional way of doing experiment. In order to
determine the temperature measurement, Windows Apps. (WinApp) software has been
developed in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 .The developed software shows that the temperature
measurement can be calculated by interfacing the instrument to the computer through USB
Port.
