Design and implementation of Square-Cabin Environmental Parameters Monitoring System based on the virtual instrument

In order to ensure device in the Square-Cabin works correctly, monitoring the Environmental parameters of it is needed. A novel Square-Cabin Environmental Parameters Monitoring System (SCEPMS) is developed, and design of it uses the virtual instrument software architecture. The test data can be obtained through the Test-Area Internet Protocol network. All the sensors of this system has the RS-232 interface, so it can be easily connected to this monitoring system, furthermore the modules for converting the serial protocol to internet one is used to connect the sensors described above with Ethernet. The Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) is used to design the monitoring software under LabVIEW software platform. The Environmental parameters such as temperature, humility, wind force and direction can be obtained through the system. In addition, the system can realize the functions of display the dynamic curve of environment parameters, analysis the test result and generate report.
