| To start the program move the power button to **"on"** and push start on the labview program. | |
| | To start the program move the power button to **"on"** and push start on the labview program. When the button is returned to **"off"** the program will automatically save any data you've obtained. |

| **"Sample Voltage in mV"** will read the voltage from the Tektronix DM5120 Programmable Digital Multimeter. (potential difference between the blocks) | **"Sample Voltage in mV"** will read the voltage from the Tektronix DM5120 Programmable Digital Multimeter. (potential difference between the blocks) |
| The **meter 2 graph** will show the temperature voltage between the blocks as it increases or decreases over time. | The **meter 2 graph** will show the temperature voltage between the blocks as it increases or decreases over time. |

| **"Voltage"** will apply heat to the hot block via the Keithley 2400 Source Meter. Typically we apply 5V to the hot block until **TC_V in mv** reads 0.15 at room temperature (this corresponds to a ΔT of about 3 K see [[seebeck:equipment:LabView:Seebeck Calibration Chart|Seebeck Calibration Chart]] for temperature dependent calibrations). | **"Voltage"** will apply heat to the hot block via the Keithley 2400 Source Meter. Typically we apply 5V to the hot block until **TC_V in mv** reads 0.15 at room temperature (this corresponds to a ΔT of about 3 K see [[seebeck:equipment:LabView:Seebeck Calibration Chart|Seebeck Calibration Chart]] for temperature dependent calibrations). Once the desired temperature gradient is reached, return the voltage to 0. |

| | The **Take Measurement** button records data every time it is clicked, to record data as the meters return to 0 mV the button must continually be clicked. |
