Output Recording Program Using Python

Output Values Recording Program Using Python

During my time at the Power and Energy Laboratory of MUSSD, I developed a Data Recording Program using Python based on a request from the Head of the laboratory. The main purpose of this project was to support laboratory research by collecting and storing harmonics readings from different electrical devices and machines.

The program was developed using the Python programming language and was specifically designed to work with the MTE Checkmeter 2.1. The objective of the software was to automatically save harmonics readings from the device into a local text file on a computer for future analysis and research purposes.

One of the key features of this program is its ability to filter current and voltage harmonic values from the complete output generated by the MTE Checkmeter 2.1. Since the device output contains a large amount of technical information, manually extracting harmonic data can be time-consuming. To solve this issue, the program was designed to identify and separate only the required harmonic readings, making the data collection process more efficient and organized.

The software processes the raw output data received from the checkmeter and records important harmonic parameters while keeping the original output structure unchanged. This helps researchers easily access and analyze the required harmonics information without manually sorting through unnecessary details.

Below is the basic data output received from the MTE Checkmeter 2.1 that the program processes:

This project improved the efficiency of harmonics data collection within the laboratory environment and reduced the effort required for manual recording and filtering of electrical measurement data. Additionally, it provided a more structured and reliable approach for storing harmonics readings for future laboratory research.
