Second cell, take two

Written by Ryan Hunt on .

With the copper wires in the cell all glued down, cell #2 was put back in service.

Before that, though, we tested out different thermocouple probes in water.  We found that one we had made ourselves and coated with ceramic read 103C in well stirred boiling water.  Another one we purchased also read 103.  But the cheapy one that came free with a $20 multimeter read 99.5C.  We are trying to figure out the difference.

Finally, we got the second laptop set up and married to the instrument package.  

The data from Test Cell 2 is now accessible from the web at http://hugnetlab.com/celani2/, but it will only be there till we pack the whole apparatus up to ship it to Europe for Mathieu and Nicolas to calibrate and get ready for the wire.

A suggestion for the live data on hugnetlab.com/celani2/

Please consider adding charts showing the previous hours of activity (for example 6 and 24 hours?) or to make custom queries decimate data accordingly to the time range selected.

It takes too much time for the system to process even just a few hours of data because there are too many unneeded data points (one for each second) for such long time frames.

1 data point / second is even almost too much for 15 minutes of data.

Also please make that website more accessible, it's hard to discover right now. (way more than even the progress blog and the forum, which should be more prominent. They are the core of this website).

I have other potential related suggestions but I'll save them for later.
