VB2005 Program using ADR101

The goal of this project is to test a variety of 1.2v (in sets of two) rechargeable batteries from different manufacturers to determine their mAh & watt-hour ratings. These results will then be compared to the specifications provided by the manufactures. A testing unit consisting of a load circuit equivalent to the load provided by a digital camera will be interfaced with an ADR101 which will be interfaced with a pc. A program written in Visual Basic 2005 will control the ADR101. This will allow the ADR101 to start the test via electronic relay, take measurements every minute, record the data on the PC, and then stop the test once the batteries are drained. **Additional Info*** -A link to a project similar to mine done using STAMP can be seen at [[login to view URL]][1] **if you read around pages 8 and 9 of this article you'll be given a very good idea of what I am trying to have accomplished** -ADR101 can be seen at [[login to view URL]][2] -A start button on the program would begin the test via electronic relay. -The voltage and current measurements to be taken every minute, data can be stored which ever way allows for better mangement/usage. Being able to enter the name of the batteries at the start of a test and have the results saved so they can be recalled for later viewing would be nice. -The program would display the measurements as they are being read in table format (columns). -Once the testing has completed, the relay would be disengaged. -Then calculate total energy delivered, actual mAh, and Watt-Hours. -Then display the results of calculations encluding any graphs where possible **(I will update shortly on exactly which graphs.) **-Print button to print results to paper ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. **The source code must be well commented in english.** 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform This program needs to run on Windows XP.
