Development of software package for event driven execution of multivariate models

Abstract: The BoardModel™ software system is today used as a visualization of, for example, logging of parameters in production and real-time predictions of responses such as formaldehyde emission or moisture content. The system is time based and consists of four main programs, the BMDC (saves and sends the incoming values), the View (shows the result to the screen), the Server (calculates the result) and the HDB exporter (export values to a text file). This project aims at doing BoardModel™ event based and implement a new interface where the results can be shown. The need of the Server and the View programs in offline applications will be unnecessary, this will make the whole system much easier to use. To make the system event based, SIMCA-QP from Umetrics AB will be used as calculating engine. An interface in C code which communicates with SIMCA-QP will be made. All other changes to the program will be made in C++. The final version of the new BoardModel™ is event based, has support for multiple models and multiple y variables. The system also has the opportunity to send the calculated results as OPC. The new BoardModel™ consists only of BMDC with an inbuilt exporter and a new interface where the results are shown.
