Pc Based Instrumentation

Catalog description

This course gives graduate students hands-on knowledge in designing instrumentation systems for computer-based data acquisition and control. Sampling and data collection analysis are reviewed in the context of real-world scenarios. Memory and ports in Microcomputer Systems are also covered. Programmable parallel ports and handshake Input/Output are presented as well as data structures in a graphical programming language. Computer interfacing using a graphical programming language with applications involving Digital to Analog Conversion (DAC), Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC), Digital Input Output (DIO), Serial Ports, and the general purpose instrument bus (GPIB) will be introduced.
