  * It includes an update that allows the saving function to work with both Python 2.6 and Python 3.1
  * SAMPLErunning.py is a program that illustrates how to call the functions within the numerous python files

  * This version contains a couple of bugs that prevent the G-code from running properly.
  * The new Graphic User Interface (MechanicalTesterGUI.py) includes a button to combine the SRL and Dynamic Tests into one G-code.

===== CNC Testing commands =====

  * This version of the Dynamic Test Generator Code creates a sine wave and creates a feedrate that matches a cosine wave

{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:dynamictestwithlinearapproximation.doc|Dynamic Test Generator Code Version 2, 04-14-2011}}

  * This version of the Dynamic Test Generator Code creates a sine wave and linearly approximates the corresponding cosine wave


=====  Continuous Data Aquisition and Saving =====

{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:cnc_continuous_save_program_1.doc| Saving Continuous Data (not recent)}}

{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:continuous_saving_on_cnc_mech_test.doc|Data Aquisition and Saving (not recent)}}
  * Acquires and restores data over a specified period of time
  * Creates a csv file for the data file to be saved in
  * Saves data along side a time stamp in the csv file
 
{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:continuous_saving_on_wiki2.doc|Data Aquisition and Saving 2.0}}
  * Reduced elapsed time between collecting and saving data
  * Frequency of collection is reduced to 1460 samples per second
 
{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:data_aquisition_and_saving_3.0ver1.doc|Data Aquisition and Saving 3.0}}
  * The times now accurately correspond to when they were collected
  * This program automatically calibrates to the best frequency of collection, within the user specified error
  * This program also allows you to choose the daq and channel you want to acquire data from. 
  * This version is created for Python 2.6

{{:start:classes:principlesofdesign:cncmechanicaltester:combinedcalibrationandtestrawfinal.doc|Calibration, Data aquisition, and Saving 4.0}}
  * This program now calculates the optimal frequency to collect data at.
  * We will use this program, and all it's variables to be called on individually from the GUI homepage.
