This master thesis focuses on the testing of the combustion equipment and the wood fuel combustion process. The aim of the thesis is to get acquainted with this issue and to analyze solutions for monitoring and control of heat source parameters according to valid legislation. The result of this thesis is the realization and verification of the software design of the combustion test system using the NI LabVIEW development environment.

This paper describes the design of equipment for measuring the wettability of surfaces. Surface wettability is determined by analyzing the profile drops, in an image taken with a digital camera. After the equipment is required to automatically find and focus the analyzed drops, taking the image, measuring wettability and save the image analysis, including measurement results to a file for subsequent offline analysis and archiving. The proposed facility is designed as a three-axis manipulator. For the driving the axes are chosen stepper motors. A key factor in achieving the highest possible speed measurement is very smooth movement of the manipulator, which is achieved by controlling of motors in microstepping mode with very high resolution. Software entire system is designed in the NI LabVIEW development environment for image processing was used module NI Vision.
