This tester was designed so that an operator could test two room humidity/temperature sensors at the same time. The application was designed so that the operator could start the testing of a single room sensor; and while that sensor was testing, the operator could start the testing of another room sensor. Since the functional test of each sensor was approximately forty-five (45) seconds, this allowed the operator to continuously test the room sensosr in an alternating fashion that increased the output of the work area.

It was mandated from Marketing that product line would have a Data Matrix (a 2D barcode format) label placed on each product of a particular model type before shipment to the customer. This was in addition to the product's existing Code 128 barcode. This product line was being tested on two different functional testers -- an older functional tester whose software application was written overseas in LabVIEW 8.5 and a new functional tester that was written by myself in Visual Studio 2010. So I had to create the same software feature for both functional testers -- one in LabVIEW and one in Visual C++. Basically the requirements of this software feature would that it would parse out the product's information -- which was captured by scanning the the product's Code 128 barcode label at the beginning of the functional test. Then this software feature would parse product's information, add additional mandated information and then format and print the resultant Datamatrix label at the end of the test -- once the product passed the functional test.
