Reading temperature from DS18B20 digital temp. sensor using DAQ USB6008??

[KayK]

hello.. im trying to read the temperature reading from this DS18B20 digital temperature sensor...it is a 1-wire interface sensor...and its provides digital temperature measurements...im using the DAQ USB6008 Digital I/O to read this sensor...how can i get the exact degree C reading by using LabVIEW and this USB6008??below is the datasheet of the temperature sensor DS18B20....anyone can help??

The DAQ USB6008 was designed for analogue type sensors and simple digital IO, not sensors with a digital serial output.  I have used similar 1-wire sensor chips in projects. To get the readings from these chips we usually used Microprocessors. You could probably use a 1-wire serial or USB bridge to connect directly to the PC though.
