The Sun Simulator Monitoring System Based On VC Software Design

As the sensitive ground simulation test, calibration and performance test the sun simulator is an important equipment, On the ground the optical properties such as spectral irradiance, distribution of the simulated sunlight and quasi laymen, is mainly used to the visible light measurement and analysis of simulation on the satellite, space flight and missile guiding device light scattering characteristics of the top and so on. As laboratory controlling the light source, the sun simulator is not only be widely used in the field of aerospace, but also in environmental science, color, optics, remote sensing, agriculture and other fields.The large simulator is still in the primary stage in our country, The1.5m large simulator which made by research institute in China independently not only meet the requirement of light scattering characteristic experiment of all kinds of high, at the same time also increased irradiation area and controllable irradiance. But it increases the complexity of operation and the mis-operation accident severity, in the same time. so the design of the monitoring system which based on the sun simulator developed by pressing on the agenda.This article based on controllable large xenon lamp solar simulator is using MFC development design and beautify the control interface and multithreading serial port detection and remote setting of main power supply and so monitoring PLC operation condition. The system main implement open to turn off the lights intelligently, monitoring equipment state and environment parameters and it also has some other function such as emergency diagnosis and fault alarm and so on. We hope to get to remotely monitor the sun simulator, it can not only reduce wrong operation and make a easy operation, but also realize the extreme conditions in a simulated space environment on a list of the sun simulator test operation. To develop technical way of the experimental study of space target.
