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.
Editorials
From the Publisher
Praise for the First Edition"A mix of tutorial and reference information for engineers setting up or using a PC-based data acquisition system. Spanning many disciplines, this well-illustrated book gives the readers enough information to build a system from scratch or to simply piece together appropriate commercial hardware and software products...a useful book for anyone who wants their PC to acquire, analyze or display data."
