108 Relays -- K145 Network Temperature Monitor Lite

K145 Network Temperature Monitor Lite
(freeware)

This is a stripped down version of the K145TMStd software with a server component added, to allow remote data viewing. Remote viewing is done in a web browser. Although it is "finished", it was done as a proof of concept. As built, it has limited usefulness. However, the ideas will likely be incorporated into something more functional at a later time. This software works with the DIY/Kitsrus K145 Temperature Data Logger kit.

Software features:
- 4 channels of temperature monitoring and logging
- thermometers, temperature and min/max display in local program
- configure friendly channel names and thermometer scales
- configure Com port
- configure server port number
- remote browser view
      - displays channel temperatures, min/max values,
          and the temperature log
      - browser display updates automatically every 5 minutes,
          with option to do a manual update at any time
- maximum 1 remote connection at any given time
- temperature log can be manually saved to file
      (tab-delimited format)
