Digital Thermometer Monitor V1.0
Copyright Mike Cook 1998 - Musbury Consultants - all rights reserved
This application allows you to read the "RUN THE RISC" Thermometer on the IIC bus,
and record the results in a text file.
You need the hardware as described in the April. 98 issue of Acorn User.
SENSORS
In order to simplify the display the reading from only one sensor is displayed
at any one time, the displayed sensor is chosen by using radio buttons.
Underneath each of these buttons is a check box which tells the computer what
sensors to read. This is automatically set up during the programme's loading sequence
to all the sensors that are attached to the bus but you can disable or re-enable
them at any time. If you try to enable a sensor that is not present you will get
a warning box.
RECORDING
Before recording begins you must specify a path name by the usual drag and drop of
an icon then you can click on the record button to log the readings.
The first number recorded is the time of the reading in seconds, followed by a TAB,
this is followed by TAB separated temperature readings. After the last reading there
is a return character (ASCII &OA) to tell the spread sheet to go onto the next line.
The reading rate can be set from the menu, to a maximum of one every 0.1 seconds.
Before recording begins you must specify a path name by the usual drag and drop of
an icon then you can click on the record button to log the readings. You can open
up the readings with any text editor to check they are all right.
If you have trouble tracking down this temperature sensor chip I can supply them:-
