In order to use ProCoDA software you need to install 4 components.
- LabVIEW Run time engine 2015
- National Instruments Data Acquisition 15.1.1 for acquiring voltage data from sensors
- National Instruments VISA (for serial communication with instruments)
- ProCoDA zipped installer
The first 3 items only need to be installed on your computer once. If there are updates to ProCoDA, all you need to do is reinstall the 4th item.
Update Log
Date | update |
---|---|
8/19/2016 | added zeroing capability to Dissolved Oxygen calibrator (allows the use of Vernier DO probes). |
9/1/2016 | fixed peristaltic pump code that hadn't been compiled to version 2015 |
9/2/2016 | fixed PID code that hadn't been compiled to version 2015 |
9/8/2016 | Fixed HF scientific code so it loads correctly (deleted clear error VI that wasn't included in the compiled code) Also learned not to run the source ProCoDA with external code connected unless the external code is the source code. Otherwise the project will switch to the installed code rather than the source code when it builds the next install. |
9/16/2016 | Added auto zero for volt offset and physical offset for photometer. |
9/23/2016 | removed rule and sensor configure file types, disabled zero and set options for photometer, eliminated bogus sensor input for setpoint controlled PID. |
10/28/2016 | revised directions for calibration of peristaltic pumps, fixed gran plot error that caused dialog box to lock up. |
11/22/2016 | send time in current state to external code |
11/30/2016 | added shared variables to state exit logic so that variables would have the correct index values. |
