Avtomatizacija meritev temperature in barvnega spektra z namenskim programom

PODPEČAN, ROK (author), Kunaver, Matevž (mentor)

Podjetje MyCol d. o. o. razvija termokromatske indikatorje, ki pri določeni temperaturni meji nepovratno spremenijo barvo. Pri razvoju teh indikatorjev zelo pogosto opravljajo serijo dokaj preprostih, a vseeno časovno potratnih meritev, kjer zajamejo barvni spekter indikatorjev pri različnih temperaturah, pri čemer uporabljajo več ločenih naprav. Da bi olajšal ta postopek, sem v jeziku c# z WPF ogrodjem razvil računalniško aplikacijo, ki je povezala te naprave in proces avtomatizirala. Za eno od naprav sem imel na voljo dokumentacijo komunikacijskega protokola, tako da sem jo lahko upravljal direktno. Drugo napravo pa sem lahko uporabljal le preko ločenega programa. To napravo moj program upravlja tako, da simulira uporabniške vnose (klike miške, pritiske tipk na tipkovnici ...) in jo manipulira preko uporabniškega vmesnika ločenega programa. Kljub alternativni rešitvi avtomatizacija postopka prihrani veliko časa.

• Title: Automatization of temperature and spectrum measurements using a custom developed software

Abstract

Company MyCol d.o.o. is developing thermochromatic indicators which, at a certain temperature point, irreversibly change their color. During the development of these indicators, they very often perform a series of fairly simple, yet time-consuming measurements where they observe the color spectrum of an indicator at different temperatures where they use multiple separate devices. To simplify this procedure, I wrote an application in the c# language using the WPF framework which connected those devices and automated the mentioned procedure. For one of the devices, I had the documentation of its communication protocol available to me. Therefore, I could control it directly. The other device could only be used through a separate application. My program controls that device by simulating user inputs (mouse clicks, keyboard key presses ...) and manipulating it through the user interface of the separate application. Despite this workaround, the automation of the procedure saves a lot of time.
