Contingency Plan for
Assumed Specification
• Contact 4th year chemical engineering students to
test cart after apparatus is fully assembled and
connected with LabVIEW.
• Conduct time and operation trials on all contacted
persons with cart and lab manual.
Electrical Issues
• Remaining Issues
o Digital to analog converter code
o I/P circuit
• Result: Unmet Specification
o Manual P/PI control can be achieved, but complete control through
LabVIEW is not yet possible.
Action Plan for Electrical
Issues
• PID Automatic Control
o Fix issues with digital to analog converter code.
o Continue testing PID control.
o Continue testing and finalize circuit.
Deliverables
