Data Acquisition Techniques Using PCs

*Teaches the reader how to set up a PC-based system that measures, analyzes, and controls experiments and processes through detailed design examples *Geared for beginning and advanced users, with many tutorials for less experienced readers, and detailed standards references for more experienced readers *Fully revised new edition discusses latest programming languages and includes a list of over 80 product manufacurers to save valuable time Data Acquisition Techniques Using Personal Computers, 2E offers all the information needed to implement a PC-based data acquisition system. The book covers all aspects of setting up a system ranging from sensors, to data acquisition cards, to PC hardware, to software. It shows how to include circuits that transform analog reality into digital data that the computer can understand. The coverage involves almost all areas of industry and applications of instrumentation in electrical engineering (ie. control, robotics), biomedial engineering, and mechanical systems.Austerlitz, Howard is the author of 'Data Acquisition Techniques Using PCs', published 2002 under ISBN 9780120683772 and ISBN 0120683776.
