First Sentence:
Data acquisition, in the general sense, is the process of collecting information from the real world.
Description
The second edition of this highly successful text focuses on the major changes that have taken place in this field in recent times. Data Acquisition Techniques Using PCs, Second Edition, recognizes that data acquisition is the core of most engineering and many life science systems in measurement and instrumentation. It will prove invaluable to scientists, engineers, students and technicians wishing to keep up with the latest technological developments.
From the Back Cover
*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.
Audience
