Abstract

This project of development of the software is necessary for the communication serial with the hardware devices developed, that will make the communication between the computer and the equipment of measures of electric conductivity in function of the pressure. The control software will send the commands configured by the operator of the system to the hardware, that will work the equipment of measures for your time and during the measure process the software will make the reading of the data picked by the hardware. The main paper of the software is to do the communication interface between the operator and the system. With the use of the method of the automation, being the software one of your components, the time of analysis of a sample in relation to the traditional method is decreased considerably, because the computer, through the software, will process all the data and will make the graphs resultants of the referred values of the analyzed sample simultaneously. The main functions attributed to the software in subject they are: cadaster of operators, analysis of samples, creation of spreadsheets of results and relative graphs to the analyses, storage/recovery of data in individual files, verification of the calibration of the pneumatic system and creation of reports related to the data of the analysis process, tends the total it controls of the hardware.
