The development of measuring instruments requires a specialist to know the principles of operation of advanced measuring systems. This article describes guidelines for creating a virtual appliance in LabVIEW. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical application programming environment used as a standard tool for measuring, analyzing their data, further ma­ naging devices and objects under study. LabVIEW language is not like other programming languages. It does not create a program, but a virtual tool, designed not only for the simulation of certain processes, but also for the management of hardware and the study of real physical objects. The article deals with the task of designing application software for a specific information-measuring device, analyzes the capabilities of the LabVIEW environment for spectral analysis of various signals, outlines the basic principles and techniques of programming within the framework of the LabVIEW graphical environment during the basic stages of development. The procedure for creating a virtual device is described, which allows to evaluate the spectral composition of the signals, presents a graphical code of execution (diagram) to the program and a graphical tool interface of the virtual device. A number of basic elements used to develop the program are described. The simplicity of the graphic designs, the ease of installation on the field of the program, the clarity and readability of the program — all of which makes LabVIEW preferred over other languages of programming. In most cases, the experiment is the only source of reliable information. And the result is achieved much faster than the methods of "pure" theory. The article substantiates the effectiveness of using a development tool that allows to obtain a software product and ensure the fulfillment of all the basic functions of an automated system. Developing a software algorithm for calculating statistical parameters will help engineering students understand the order of determining spectral characteristics and their place in the structure of experimental research.

An important stage in the development of temperature control interface modules for measuring instruments, implemented according to the main-modular principle of construction on the basis of a central instrument module and used as part of a measuring system on spacecraft for various purposes, is to ensure their noise-immune operation when the measuring system is exposed to a combination of various types of interference which determine the electromagnetic environment on the spacecraft. The article is devoted to the analysis of the characteristics of various types of interference affecting the measuring system, identifying the ways of their penetration into the temperature control interface module and determining the influence of the characteristics of these interference on the choice of measures to ensure the required noise immunity of the temperature control interface module as part of the measuring device. It is shown that the paths of interference penetration into the interface temperature control module depend on the frequency and time characteristics of the interference affecting the measuring system. Measures to mitigate these interference must be determined after assessing the danger of their penetration into the interface temperature control module for each path separately in the entire frequency range of their impact. Based on the results of such assessments, a set of reasonable measures should be determined to ensure the noise immunity of the interface temperature control module as part of the measuring device, implemented in combination at the design levels of the measuring system, the measuring device and the interface temperature control module.

The aim of the work is to develop an automated measuring system in a mechanical gyrocompass with the help of specially developed hardware and software in order to facilitate the operation of the device and minimize observer errors. The developed complex provides automation only for the time method, as for the method of the turning point it is necessary to constantly contact the motion screw of the total station. The project is based on an integrated system, the hardware part of which contains a single-board computer, camera, and lens. The main software is a developed motion recognition algorithm with the help of image processing. This algorithm was created using the Python programming language and the open-source computer vision library OpenCV. With the help of the hardware, a video image of the gyroscope's reference scale is obtained, and with the help of the software, the moving light indicator and its position relative to the scale are identified in this image. The result of the study is a functioning automatic measurement system, which determines the value of the azimuth of the direction with the same accuracy as manual measurements. The system is controlled remotely via a computer and wi-fi network. To test the system, a series of automatic and manual measurements were performed simultaneously at the same point for the same direction. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that the accuracy of the system is within the limits specified by the manufacturer of the device for manual measurements. The application of computer vision technology, namely the tracking of a moving object in the image for gyroscopic measurements can give a significant impetus to the development of automation systems for a wide range of measuring instruments, which in turn can improve the accuracy of measurement results. The developed system can be used together with the Gyromax AK-2M gyrocompass of GeoMessTechnik for carrying out automated measurements, training of new operators. With the help of the developed model, it is possible to avoid gross errors of the observer, to facilitate the measurement process which will not demand the constant presence of the operator near the device. In some dangerous conditions, this is a significant advantage.

Several variants of half division two-dimensional method are proposed, which is the basis of a fundamentally new approach for constructing measuring instruments for sinusoidal or periodic electrical quantities. These measuring instruments are used in the diagnosis of electric power facilities. The most general variant, called midpoint method, is considered. The proposed midpoint method allows you to measure much smaller than using widespread methods, alternating currents or voltages, especially when changing the amplitude of the measured signal in very wide ranges, by 1–2 orders of magnitude. It is shown that using the midpoint method it is possible to suppress sinusoidal or periodic interference in the measuring path, in particular, to measure small alternating current when sinusoidal or periodic interference is 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than the useful signal. Based on the results of comparative tests, it was found that the current measuring device implementing the midpoint method is an order of magnitude more sensitive than the currently used high-precision measuring instruments.

As a result of R&D, a measuring system for controlling the thickness of the HDPE/LDPE (high-density polyethylene/low-density polyethylene) polymer geomembrane was developed using automation equipment. The relevance of this work consists of the development of a domestic, relatively inexpensive system for controlling the thickness of the HDPE/LDPE polymer geomembrane in production conditions based on modern equipment for enterprise automation. The scientific novelty consists of the use of original design solutions in the development of hardware and software complex mechanisms that allow controlling the thickness of the HDPE/LDPE polymer geomembrane layers along the entire width of the shaft, excluding deformation of the film as a result of foreign bodies entering during extrusion, cuts, monitoring the quality of the film in real time, as well as the possibility of analyzing the measured parameters in the database of the automated system.

It is easy to realize that most robots do not move to the desired endpoint (Tool Center Point (TCP)) using high-resolution noncontact instrumentation because of manufacturing and assembly errors, transmission system errors, and mechanical wear. This paper presents a robot calibration solution by changing the endpoint trajectories while maintaining the robot’s control system and device usages. Two independent systems to measure the endpoint positions, the robot encoder and a noncontact measuring system with a high-resolution camera, are used to determine the endpoint errors. A new trajectory based on the measured errors will be built to replace the original trajectory. The results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce errors; moreover, this is a low-cost solution and easy to apply in practice and calibration can be done cyclically. The only requirement for this method is a noncontact measuring device with high-resolution and located independently with the robot in calibration.

Measurement of high voltage AC, DC and Impulses on a laboratory scale using expensive measuring instruments. In addition, the measurements taken are at a voltage level of 15 KV. Integrated measurement of high voltage AC, DC and Impulses for 15 KV voltage levels using sign transformers has never been done. Whereas high voltage generation using a sign transformer is only able to generate voltage up to 15 KV voltage only. For that we need a voltage measuring device that is able to measure up to a voltage of 15 KV, and does not require expensive costs. In this Final Project, a high voltage monitoring module for impulse high voltage generator module will be designed using visual studio c #. The results of monitoring the high voltage generator module on the C # visual studio form successfully went well. The voltage test performed produces a value close to the actual value with an average error of 0.01 volts. Unfortunately this test is still not perfect because it is still susceptible to noise so that the measurement process is often interrupted.

External Conditions

An analysis of the available automated indoor temperature control systems shows that all of them have a significant shortage. The systems do not provide for predictive temperature control in an automated form. Such changes are determined and made, depending on the qualification, by the operator based on personal experience and the reports received by him on the weather channels. Possible errors lead to loss of productivity or disruption of technological modes of production. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a system of automated predictive control of the temperature regime of industrial premises to improve energy efficiency and the quality of maintaining the necessary climatic conditions. (Materials and methods) Increasing the efficiency of greenhouses can be achieved through the introduction of an automated and more economical temperature control system. The proposed device additionally includes a weather forecast receiving unit, made on the basis of microprocessor technology, for reliable signal reception. The air that circulates inside the greenhouse through heat exchange circuits was used as a heat carrier. (Results and discussion) An additional heat (cold) reserve is created in the greenhouse, which allows to maintain the set temperature in the room, taking into account the weather forecast. The results presented in patents No. 2710010, 2667684 and the implemented control system based on certificates of state registration of programs for electronic computers No. 2015618030, 20146115490, and 2014617605 exceed the results obtained by the authors of the proposed developments based on patents No. 2586923 and No. 80308. (Conclusions) The use of new technical solutions and technologies for providing the basis for the development of a new principle for the construction of automated control systems for the temperature regime of industrial premises, taking into account the predicted changes in external conditions. The practical result of the conducted research is: a concept, a control algorithm, a manufactured and tested experimental sample of a device for controlling the temperature regime in a greenhouse.
