Data integration into Labview

[SvenBiotech]

Good Morning,

I am exploring the possibility of integrating the Chi.Bio reactor with LabVIEW for enhanced monitoring and control. Specifically, I am interested in transferring the reactor’s output data, including optical density, temperature, and stirring speed, to LabVIEW through its communication protocol.

My intention is to extend the current setup by incorporating a dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor and a thermal mass flow controller (tMFC). By leveraging LabVIEW, I aim to develop an automated system for real-time control and data visualization, with all parameters displayed on a single interface.

Furthermore, I would like to implement feedback control mechanisms, such as adjusting the DO concentration by varying the reactor’s stirring speed or regulating the oxygen flow rate via the tMFC. This would allow for precise environmental control within the bioreactor.

If anyone has experience with similar integrations or suggestions on implementing such a system, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,
Sven

Hello Sven
I don’t KNOW of anyone that has done this but It shouldn’t be too difficult. Main challenge will just be to write some python code that gets data into and out of the chi.bio back end. You could do this with http requests (i.e. the same mechanism currently used to update the GUI on the host computer). That should be fairly easy if you take a look at how the existing python (e.g. app.py) is structured.
