LabVIEW version

Hallo,

I am new in this forum and so is my experience for LabVIEW. Now, I am designing a discrete PID control for temperature of a certain object in order to yield a constant temperature. This object is a TEC-cooler (Thermal Electrical). I think most times I might require functions for "control design and simulation". What I have now is Version 8.2, but I realize that it does not include the full package for discrete PID control. So I decided to install 8.5 or 8.6, since I saw some examples for this, which mostly use 8.5 or 8.6 for designing.
It would be an honour for me to get an idea which version and extra modules would be suitable for my task.
Furthermore I am searching for suitable literature. Eventhough I watched various books already, I haven't found specific examples for designing a discrete PID control? I am just learning German, but those technical terms I can better understand in English.
I would appreciate you also reply me in English. Thank you very much.

Freundliche Grüße,
spring
