Pulsafeeder would like to have a Data Acquisition System for their pumps. Such a system would acquire vital pump statistics and run analysis that would measure the pumps performance against the design specifications. This would allow Pulsafeeder to gain valuable information on their products and see when/where preventative maintenance is required to prolong the life of the pump. Currently Pulsafeeder does not have a system to continuously collect and store data and relies on post-mortem analysis to find the root cause of pump failure.

This project will put together a system to collect, analyze and store vital pump data. It will be portable and may be running for a given pump on long or short term basis in a laboratory environment. It will be specifically designed for the eclipse series pumps, but must be extendable to as many other product lines as possible.
