Development of GUI for Wireless Sensor Network for Industrial Parameters

The establishment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises two major parts, the systematically distributed and wirelessly connected nodes and the base station to demonstrate the information collected by the network. To enhance the features of the wireless sensor network, a smart GUI is designed and implemented at the base station, to monitor the environmental parameters, for which the Wireless Sensor Network is dedicated. This paper deals with the issues of design and implementation of GUI for base station, which performs the task of data demonstration and logging of the same for further process. Emphasizing these tasks the GUI is designed in Visual Basic environment. The present GUI is designed for 10 nodes. It reads data from coordinator node. Each node is labeled with the ID. The GUI disassembles the packet received serially from coordinator and respective parameters values are separated with respective node ID. The calibration of the system is done at node level. Therefore, the parameter values, in real units are displayed in the respective window. Moreover, the present GUI is designed to depict the path of the data flow from respective node. This realizes the emulation of the collaborative data collections. This designed GUI also helps to ensure fault detection. Thus, the GUI works satisfactorily to fulfill the need of base station of dedicated wireless sensor network.
