Hydraulic Data Management Software (SMT-HDMS-100)

This software is designed to serve as a centralized data management platform for manual entry and recording of experimental results from a wide range of ESOLS hydraulics apparatus. Its purpose is to streamline the laboratory workflow, minimize transcription errors, and enhance the learning experience by providing structured data handling and analysis tools for fluid mechanics experiments. The system features tailored interfaces for different experiments, such as flow measurement and turbine testing, allowing users to input data into digital or analog-style displays. It includes built-in calculations, real-time chart generation, and data logging capabilities. Recorded data can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis, and the software is designed to be intuitive with consistent behavior across all supported applications, ensuring a smooth user experience. Its primary application is in educational hydraulics laboratories, where it is used alongside physical bench-top units like flumes and turbine test beds. The key benefit is the significant improvement in data accuracy and efficiency it provides, enabling students to focus on analyzing results and understanding fundamental principles rather than on manual record-keeping, thereby deepening their comprehension of fluid dynamics.
