Source Code For PLX DAQ

The document provides the source code and explanation for implementing data acquisition from an Arduino device using PLX-DAQ. The source code shows the setup and loop functions used to initialize serial communication, clear existing data, label columns, reset the timer, and output time and sensor variable data in a comma separated format for each loop iteration.

Supporting Information
Source code and it’s explanation for implementing PLX-DAQ for your Arduino-based device
and it’s source code.

Source Code Explanation

void setup() { Initializing Arduino device.

Serial.begin(9600); Opening the serial communication. The number


sets the bauderate ( = Symbols sent per second).
The same bauderate must be set in PLX-DAQ
starting window.

Serial.println("CLEARDATA"); Enabling the “Clear Columns” option of the


interface.

Serial.println("LABEL,Time,Variable a, Writing “LABEL” and Excel will set the


Variable b,..."); description of the columns.

Serial.println("RESETTIMER"); Enabling the “Reset Timer” option of the


} interface. PLX-DAQ is always measuring time,
while serial communication is enabled. For
enabling the communication use “Connect”. In
doing so the serial port will open.

void loop() { Initializing Arduino device’s routine.

Serial.print("DATA,TIME,"); Writing “DATA” and Excel will print the time


since the serial port is open and the
Serial.print(Variablea); measurements of variable (e.g. pH, temperature,
conductivity…) per cell.
Serial.print(Variableb);

Serial.println(); Setting a new line for a new row in Excel.

delay(1000); Put a delay (here 1000 ms) according to your


} sensor(s) and their response time.
