This gauge system was written for a small winery with about 200 tanks. The gauges are sent to the system using radio frequency. It uses a stand alone PC and interfaces to the radio frequency through the RS232 port. It is able to sweep the farm in less than ten seconds. It checks for jumps in gauges and reports problems. Also shown are all the detected wine movement in the last hour, 45 minute, 15 minute, and 5 minute period. Each tank detected moving down is highlighted in blue, and those moving up are highlighted in yellow. Any problems over the threshold defined by the cellar sounds a audio alarm.

Since there are so many gauge systems and interfaces, we do not provide a standard interface program. Because of the limitations of Visual Basic we have written this in a open source Basic system. This is only shown as a sample of how one winery interfaced their gauges. The cellar uses it to monitor WPO movement, and as a security against wine lose through leakage or other means.
