Download sensor acquisition and control system

Abstract
The SACS (Sensor Acquisition and Control System) is a hardware and software
package developed as a system to be used in conjunction with an aluminum melt
detection sensor signal acquisition previously developed by a team of WPI students. This
project builds on a preexisting C code firmware, and is used by a graphical user interface
developed using Visual Basic.NET. Through this project, the groundwork has been laid
for further thermal and electrical conductivity evaluations of molten aluminum. The
SACS is a prototype, in line, non-destructive configuration, that allows process control
for aluminum sand casting.
