Project Overview

The Fluke DewK 1620A Thermohygrometer Management System is a web application designed to manage and monitor Fluke DewK 1620A thermohygrometers. This system provides a user-friendly interface for real-time data display, device management, and data analysis of temperature and humidity readings.

The project uses several technologies, including Python, Django, SQLite, and PyVISA, to create a web application that can interface with the Fluke DewK 1620A device.

Features

• Real-time data display
• Device management
• Data visualization
• Data export (CSV format)
• User management
• Secure login
• Alarm management
• Calibration tracking

Prerequisites

Before setting up and installing the Fluke DewK 1620A Thermohygrometer Management System, ensure that you have the following:

• A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
• Python 3.7 or later installed on your system
• A code editor or IDE of your choice (e.g., Visual Studio Code, PyCharm)
• The Fluke DewK 1620A Thermohygrometer device connected to your system

Installation

1. Clone the project repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/fluke-dewk-1620a-management.git
   cd fluke-dewk-1620a-management
   

2. Set up a virtual environment:

   python -m venv fluke-dewk-env
   

3. Activate the virtual environment:
   For Windows, use the following command:

   ./fluke-dewk-env/Scripts/activate
   

   For Linux, use the following command:

   source ./fluke-dewk-env/bin/activate
   

4. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

1. Set up the Django database:

   python manage.py migrate
   

2. Create a superuser account:

   python manage.py createsuperuser
   

Usage

1. Start the Django development server:

   python manage.py runserver
   

2. Access the web application at http://localhost:8000

3. Log in with your credentials:

   • For managers: Use manager credentials to add or remove thermohygrometers, manage user accounts, and view real-time data on the dashboard.
   • For regular users: Use provided credentials to view data visualizations by selecting devices and date ranges, and export data to CSV format.

Project Structure

The project is organized as follows:

• fluke_data/: Contains core functionality files (views.py, visa_communication.py, models.py, etc.)
• fluke_dewk_1620A_project/: Contains project configuration files (settings.py, urls.py, wsgi.py)
• staticfiles/: Contains static assets (CSS, JavaScript, images)
• thermohygrometer/: Contains files for interacting with the Fluke DewK 1620A device

Technical Stack

• Python: Primary programming language
• PyVISA: Ethernet communication with the Fluke DewK 1620A device
• SQLite: Local data storage
• Django: Web application framework
