DATA
LOGGING
We
saved the best part of the project for last. We
created easy-to-use data-logging software, which
includes custom ActiveX controls, custom graphics,
and flexible data logging. The software provides
a four-tab view of the entire system in easy-to-read
gauges. It logs to a simple text file with the ability
to save runs, simulate saved runs, and convert them
to comma-delimited value files that Excel and MATLAB
can use to graph the data.
The
PC software takes care of scaling the sensor data
to actual values. This allows you to save the configuration
for a sensor after it’s properly calibrated. The
system linearly maps the raw data contained in the
packets to actual values through a linear function.
This file takes care of all the differences between
the sensor’s values, frees up the microcontroller
from doing conversions, and allows the system to
calibrate and change easily.
