pmd_logger

Description

Data logging script for Measurement Computing PMD-1208FS. It was designed to capture analog outputs from a variety of air quality instruments for the Sustainable Atmospheres Research Lab. The digital value from the PMD is converted back to the original analog signal. This analog signal can then be converted into a measurement concentration from a variety of federal reference methods. The script samples on the order of milliseconds, and aggregates based on the time_resolution variable.

Instructions

This script is dependent on Measurement Computing's InstaCal software to assign a board number to the PMD. After configuring the board number in InstaCal, change the hard-coded board_num variable accordingly. Be sure to assign the correct fullscale and upper_limit parameters depending on the instrument you are measuring from.
