Temperature Monitoring System
This system consists of a program to read the entire Toxicology Laboratory test and storage chamber temperatures. The program displays the temperature in the form of a strip chart recorder for each of the channels. The data is written to disk for future reference and audit by federal authorities. The program also automatically computes the mean, standard deviation and variance of each of the chambers and produces an automatic report at the end of the day. The system also generates a similar report at the end of the month based on the data for each of the days.
The program monitors 32 Channels once every cycle of the program. The cycle time is variable by the setup parameters. The 32 channels of data is capable of reading from one of three types of thermocouples, monitored via a SCXI Chassis hooked to a NB-MIO-16L analog to digital board and then scaled and displayed.
This program also save data and performs statistical analysis of the temperature variant.
At the start of the cycle of the day, a file is created containing header information such as a "Statement of acquisition" describing the program name and version that
acquired the data and the operator name. Also included is the time and date of acquisition, the channel numbers and the titles for each channel (obtained from a description entered in on the from panel of the program)
The data will then be appended, along with the acquisition date and time to a "Data" file and saved as a daily record file.
The interfaces and features that were involved in this design:
Thermocouple Arrays
Statistical Reporting
Printing and Plotting
Networking
