Release Notes: Jan. 22th, 2023

Dear UConn FSAE Team and Users,

Introducing the Data Acquisition Test Analysis tool, aka. DAQ TA.

This is the first official release (v1.0.0) of the new analysis tool for UConn's Formula SAE Data Acquisition team. This tool automates the process of converting AiM files from Race Studio to generate statistics and graphs for certain tests.

Current supported tests:

  • Session Analysis
  • Sector Analysis
  • Coastdown Analysis
  • Limp mode

Details:

  • The Session Analysis will provide basic statistics across all given laps on any selected parameter.
  • The Sector Analysis will provide the same information as the Session Analysis but allows you to define sectors by distance. This feature can also generate a track map highlighting the sectors and identify the location of the maximum data point. Currently only supports 1 lap of data.
  • The Coastdown Analysis measures downforce and will generate a graph showing the downforce against speed along with a trend line.
  • The Limp mode Analysis lets you compare two different levels of oil. It will generate three graphs to compare the two laps; Percent Change against RPM, Oil Pressure against RPM, and Oil (coolant) Temp against Time.
  • This is an unfinished product and is still a work in progress so expect bugs and errors.

Known Bugs:

  • When you select a data file and then reselect a different data file with more columns, the columns will be invisible.
  • When generating a graph from Coastdown or Oil Analysis, then generating a Sector Map (Sector Analysis), the styling changes and annotations are not visible.

Updates:

  • Major overhaul of the GUI. Moved to an Object Oriented approach to make life a bit easier on the backend.
  • Visual overhaul of the GUI to look a bit more modern using customtkinter.
  • Bug fixes from pre-release
  • Many more backend updates to enhance the program

Future of DAQ TA:

  • DAQ TA is a tool designed to run specific tests, so we are open to ideas that will benefit the team.
  • Currently, we are planning a calculator feature to automatically take minimal input and do specific calculations to verify against our handwritten work and our physical testing data.

Installation Instructions:

  1. Click the Assets tab below.
  2. Download the DAQ_TA_v.1.0.0.zip file
  3. Extract the DAQ_TA folder
  4. Open the extracted folder then open DAQ_TA_Source folder
  5. Find DAQ_TA.exe, right-click it and click Create shortcut
  6. Move (cut/paste) the new shortcut to the previous folder
  7. Open the new DAQ_TA.exe shortcut and enjoy. Your analysis files will be saved to the Output folder.

Check the README.md for demos!

Dear UConn FSAE Team and Users,

This is an unfinished product and is still a work in progress so expect bugs and errors.

Known Bugs:

  • When generating a graph on one test and then another directly after, some of the contents may remain. It is best to click "Process Data" a second time or relaunch the program to clear the memory.
  • Clicking "Process Data" for Sector Analysis after running a different test, the previous graph windows will reopen. Follow the above procedure.
  • Labels of graph windows are incorrect/inconsistent

Installation Instructions:

  1. Click the Assets tab below.
  2. Download the DAQ_TA_v0.1.0.zip file
  3. Extract the DAQ TA folder
  4. Open the folder and Launch the DAQ TA.exe
