Abstract

For the lack of integrated and advanced monitoring method and equipment, the existing general environment evaluation methods cannot entirely collect and analyze the monitoring parameters, which objectively reflect the condition of general environment, so an integrated monitoring and data management system for general environment based on virtual instrument technology is proposed in this paper. The monitoring and data management system which adopts a NI CompactDAQ data acquisition system functioning high speed real-time collection of multi-parameters of climate (temperature, wind speed, solar radiation), air quality (formaldehyde, benzene, radon, etc) soil and water quality, etc. Employing the LabVIEW programming tool, the software system was developed with friendly graphical user interface, which can display the real-time monitoring results of the multi-parameters mentioned above. Moreover, the LabSQL kit is used to access the database to search historical records of every parameter, summarize the trend of environment change and further objectively evaluate the condition of environment. This system can be used as parameter acquisition instrument for general environment, and provides a new way for evaluation of the general environment.
