Data Analysis and Record Tool (DART)

Welcome to our GitHub page!

This is a semester long project we are undertaking for a class at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. This goal is to design a Windows application that helps the user interpret the data read from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) buoys.

The course instructors are:

• Dr. Chang Liu
• Yiran Liu

The students involved in this project are:

• Prachetas Deshpande
• Jack Mullen
• Dylan Rogers
• Josh Wright

Prerequisites

• .NET 4.6.1 framework

• Visual Studio

• Python 3 installed and added to PATH

• Windows capable of running Visual Studio

• Knowledge of Visual Studio (not required but helpful)

Installation

• Clone the GitHub code
• Open the project
• Under the Debug tab click the Start Debugging

Possible Errors

If the buoylist class function load says that the file location cannot be found:

• Go to the Bin file and put in the directory to the most recent .txt file

If the run_cmd function errors saying invalid parameters for the Process.Start function there is an issue with your python3 installation.

• Make sure that python3 is in your PATH
