I wonder if you guys can help. I am working on a project that consists of 4 sensors attached to a vehicle's gearbox those sensor measure vibrations at five gear shits at different loads for a certain period of time every once and while.
The sensors output data that is easily readable in excel format with a few tweaks so i have hundreds of .dat files from each sensor.
what i want to do is make something like a unique fingerprint/id for each shift and load. and when something out of the ordinary occure i get a message or an Alert.
What is the easiest way to achieve this? i am more of a mechanic than a software engineer.
I think you should time average your data in some way. Just from what I understand a gear shift occurs over ~1s frame so that will cut out some noise. May be easier to tell from there.
Also Python would be your best bet for this. Lookup "pandas" for python

Thank you gonna look up pandas.
You are right about averaging the time this would be easy to achieve through excel for my intention is to fingerprint recorded data.
What i am afraid of is the programming procedure.
There is no software that outright does this right?

>What i am afraid of is the programming procedure. Collect detailed information on the task you want to get done, and on the result you want to have. Write shit down; on some paper if you're a man, but anything works. Use your search engine of choice to get info on how these little chunks work. Assemble the bits.
Use a scripting language like Python, Ruby or JavaScript (with NodeJS), avoid C/C++ if you don't care about speed and resource efficiency.
Good luck user, just come to /dpt/ if you end up getting stuck, maybe you'll even get help.

You could run some statistics functions on those data points and if there's a statistically significant change then that's what you're looking for. Since you're the mechanic you should first find out what exactly you are looking for, and then find out how to program it. Look up statistics first though, that would be my guess.

Thank you user. [spoiler]btw /dpt/? whats that?[/spoiler] You rephrased my question anyway thanks.

Fuck me everyone gonna think i am a newfag now for using spoilers. great. I swear i was lurking the whole time. I see. Avoided those threads like the plague for a long time.
