Data Acquisition • Purpose: Support rocket testing, provide a meaningful method to collect and store data • Acquired from P7110 • Measure sensor outputs • Load Cell • Pressure Sensor • Infrared temperature Sensors • Thermocouple sensors
Data Acquisition: Initial Goals • Improve current conditions of existing DAQ system • Extend capability to read from additional sensors • Create a user friendly GUI to acquire data from several sensors
Data Acquisition Upgrade • Existing system had several problems • Better solution: NI PCI 6229 • Developed GUI for data acquisition and calibration
Graphic User Interface • Developed a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to facilitate data collection • Gather data from 16 sensors in real time • View output from 4 sensors
Calibration • Determines calibration value for a sensor • Reads from one channel
