HP 3458A realtime log

Realtime datalog test from Raspberry Pi. Compare 10V from 3245A with faulty 3458A to K2001


Only last 24 hour data is shown
Download CSV file for full datalog details
Days PPM-Deviation available here (Link will open in new window)

Workflow:

* RPI accesses DMMs via NI USB-GPIB-HS and reads data.
* Data is formatted by python script into DSV string and written/append to file on FTP
* DSV-file is visible publicly on https://xdevs.com/static/data/10v_keihf_nplc100.csv
* Page http://xdevs.com/datalog/ runs D3.js javascript library to read DSV file test.log to input data
* D3.js plots SVG graph online :)
