Abstract

In the article we discuss the problem of software development intended for visualization, processing, analyzing and recording of the data obtained by the locator to search for underground electric cables on the basis of data acquisition board L CARD E502. The features typical for such software is the need for data filtering and analysis in real time with the ability to link the results of the cable trace to the map of the terrain using GPS. Due to the fact that such applications require complex digital signal processing, a library has been developed in Cython language for operating with the E502 module, which makes it possible to apply for the processing of data of the finished Python implementations of algorithms for linear algebra, filtering, fast Fourier transformation and others. The software developed in Python language, which makes it possible to more effectively deal with interference and to better determine the location of cable routes, demonstrates the performance of the proposed model of the program component of the tracer.
