TH-03

The TH-03 application is a software interface designed for the Picotech TH-03 digital thermometer. This program allows users to generate log files manually and has the capability to run as a daemon.

Installation is straightforward and can be done by typing "./configure && make", after which an executable will be available. Alternatively, users can utilize the embedded spec-file and rebuild an RPM package using the command "# rpmbuild -tb th03-1.0.0.tar.gz". This option will generate an installable RPM file.

Once installed, users can refer to the manpage th03(8) embedded in the software distribution for details on usage. The RPM package automatically configures data to be appended to the /var/log/th03.log file every minute. To manage this file, a logrotate schema in /etc/logrotate.d/th03 rotates this log every week (which amounts to about 350kByte per week) and compresses the data.

Additionally, an initscript is included in the RPM package to allow users to start and stop the th03 daemon. Users can also access /etc/sysconfig/th03 for serial port setup and other configurable options. Overall, the TH-03 application is a user-friendly and efficient software option for those in need of digital thermometer data logging capabilities.
