Current Voltage Logger (CVL)

The CVL is an in-house, open sourced data logger that will assist SCEL students when doing their analysis of components and boards. We had a need to collect current and voltage readings over a time interval so we can estimate the power consumption of devices.

This particular project hopes to build a cheap and useful tool that will also serve as an educational tool for future students in the lab.


  • Collect current and voltage readings from DUT
  • Transmit data to a computer at real time through a USB to RS232 converter
  • Display data after collection
  • Export data as a .csv file
  • DUT must have a maximum voltage of 10 V and 3.2 A

  • Develop an open-source tool for measuring real-time current and voltage
  • Create a GUI that will allow users to visualize and export data as .csv files
