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

Graphic User Interface

Calibration

Determines calibration value for a sensor Reads from one channel
