SPREADSHEETS

DATA LOGGING & SPREADSHEETS

Here you can see data collected by WattsVIEW® during an to charge a Duracell battery powerpack using a pedal power bicycle generator. The powerpack has a 28 Amp Hour AGM. AGM stands for "absorbed glass mat" which equates to being a sealed / non spillable battery.

This data Logging Software saves data to your computer hard drive at a rate 1 sample per second up to 1 sample per hour. The data is stored into a tab delimited text file like the one shown HERE.

Power Monitoring (Volts, Amps, Watts) Sample Data Log File

Below is data from an actual log file created by WattsVIEW® Data Logging Software. You can copy this data and paste it into Microsoft Xcel or any other spreadsheet program to create your own graphs and perform analysis. You can tell by the stamps that the sampling interval was set at a logging interval of about once per second. The last column in the table provides a very accurate time stamp - giving you more resolution than the typical time stamp.

Learn how the WattsVIEW power sensor was used by Duracell to light part of New York Time Square

( New Years Eve for the 2nd Consecutive Year)
The video clip below shows human pedal power generators with each having it's own power display in the background. The WattsVIEW Sensor is installed inside each pedal power generator being used to supply serial port data a small laptop which updates the Macromedia flash application shown in this video. The WattsVIEW software ran on each pedal power generator system and provided the data needed to calculate total battery charging Amp Hours and Watt Hours through the month of December. This allowed event organizers to know that they had enough power to light the "2010" in Time Square at Midnight of New Years Eve.

Watch this video to see a customized version Of WattsVIEW used to monitor 9 Pedal Power Bicycle Generators.
