Hello, I'm developing a website where you can export the data from a KT65DL Multifunction tester into my site and have it generate a test certificate with the readings pre-filled out to save typing them in.

So far I am able to read the data from my tester and export it onto my site and for now.
I have left it in a table, ready for the next step of my project.

My Question is, While you are out and about using your tester, can you save some random results to the memory and send me the CSV file from the Kewtech report software so I can test it with my site to make sure it's all working with other testers?

Thanks in advance

Jamie C


Edit: Minor works cert under Development, spot a mistake, let me know :)

Ps, can't help you - I'm a Megger man myself!
 
More like 11AM slept in. Was a little like this: :D:sleeping:

I only got around to programming it this afternoon, took me a whole 3 hours for the data part.

As for the test cert, that has taken me a lot longer because the whole document is made using code. Not imported using word or anything. Thousands of lines of code :(

It will be worth it when I get the system fully working, it will automatically backup to my server for cloud access (Got to do a lot of security stuff before then)


Thats how a PDF document looks with me coding it:

I did once write a program in basic on my ZX81 to scroll something rude up the screen - my programming skills ended then. That ZX81 had 1K of Ram and I updated it to 16K - I still gave up the computer building though. Go figure!
 
@Jamchiv01 I'm a PHP whizz kid (got an O level in programming and everyfin) so if you need any help just let me know. I'm a Metrel man so can't help with data collection.
 
Thanks, May well take you up on that when I get to the login part, as I need to ensure its as secure as it can be before I put any details on a cloud server.
Easiest way to ensure security is to use a framework. I love Codeigniter for this type of stuff - a brilliant, east to use framework to build upon.

I have my own framework at the moment, prevents SQL injection, XXS ext and logs all database queries to a log file that is routinely checked for malicious queries and automagicly bans their IP, cookies and account. I will look into codeigniter when I get chance and see if its worth switching all my current sites over.
 
Wow you started that code at the age of 10, takes a long time dont it. I have a 65DL but I cant be arsed to even record it, never mind upload results the system is crappier than all that coding. Considering the price of the tester and todays tech you would think there was a better more intelligent way. But no, again getting palmed off with crap design and function. Don't get me started Jam.
 
Hi there. Recently purchased a 65DL so will let you know when I get to grips with it. Bear in mind though that I am over 50 and am more likely, as above, to resort to pen and paper unless it is idiot proof.
As far as I'm concerned computers create far more work and hassle than they save!
You going to pitch your software back to Kewtech?
