My name is Andrew Szatkowski. I'm a
student of senior standing at Montana State University - Bozeman in the
Electrical Engineering Department. My main contribution to this project is
to develop the Graphical User Interface portion of our
design.
A picture of the GUI layout can be found
in the detailed drawings section. The purpose of this part of the design
is basically just show that the event-detector is functioning properly. It
will initiate the capture of data by clicking a button. It will then
receive the 8-bit packets via the UART and com port. It must then break
this data down into it's usable information, i.e. the channel, the address, and
the strike. Once all of the data is captured, it will form a plot
displaying all the channels and where and when strikes occurred. It also
features a table where data can be displayed via text. Also, if the user
wants the graph to only display one of the channels, there is a channels list
where the individual channel can be selected. The GUI was created using
MATLAB and specifically its Graphical User Interface Development
Environment.
