Once all of the sensitivities have been set, you may click the button “Graph Window.”
This will bring you to a new window, on which the data will be displayed.
You now have a few options for how you would
like to take the data. When the “Start
Data” button is clicked, the program will begin recording data from the sensors in the
background. At any time, you may pause the data and save it by going to the top and
selecting Save Data.
When the user saves the data, a file titled “test.csv” will be created
under the same folder as the program. To prevent overwriting of this file, be sure to copy
it to another location before a new data run. The program DOES NOT append to the next
available file name when a new data run is collected.
You may also toggle the different channels to see the plots of heat flux and temperature
from each sensor. You can make sure it’s working by placing your hand on one of the
sensors and watching the plot from the corresponding channel to see the signal. Note: If
you are running the program on an older computer, the data in the plots may be delayed.
