Fix thermistor outputs #120

Closed lo-co closed 8 years ago

lo-co commented 8 years ago

This needs to be done in code and in max. Duplicates need to be removed from list and we need to make sure that we are scaling the ones coming back properly.

From Rob's email:

These are accessed on the server under ePAS::Get Data and will touch the data object coming back in how it writes to stream and to the file so this will touch the ePAS Data object.

Soooo....adjusted the class ePAS Cell Data itself so that the property T is a single number (was an array before). We need to test this and as such I need you guys to take a look at the values coming

  1. out of the DAQmx housekeeping task
  2. out of the thermistor conversion method.

All of this can be found in the method ePAS::Get Data. The thing that I am not sure about here is the arrangement of the thermistor and the voltage used to power the voltage divider.

Temperatures are coming back, but, unless you are fire, these are likely wrong.

JustinLangridge commented 8 years ago

Dave has updated the Steinhart coefficients in the code, the ref voltage and the top/bottom option.

Temperature look good for those thermistors plugged in

Repository needs updating with these changes, but then good to close this issue
