Book Description * Build cost-effective data recording and analysis systems on the PC * Measure speed, temperature, force, pressure, voltage, amperage, and resistance Do you need to build a system that can capture and analyze real-world data including speed, temperature, force, pressure, voltage, amperage, or electrical resistance? If so, you will find this an essential guide to building, programming, and using accurate and cost-effective PC-based data acquisition systems. You'll find designs for: * electronic measurement probing with physical transducers and signal conditioning * converting analog to digital records * software techniques appropriate for collecting, compressing, storing, reducing, analyzing, and presenting measurements While there is no typical data acquisition system, McCombs has identified the basic concepts that occur in all systems. You'll learn about selecting power supplies, sensors, and transducers, and you can even develop a fully functional PC-based voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter! C++ code examples on the companion disk show how to use the data acquisition programs with Windows 95 or DOS, and can be ported to Presentation Manager under OS/2 and to X11 under Linux- or Intel-based UNIX.
About the Author Trained in physics and electrical engineering, David McCombs has worked as a test analyst and software engineer, designing test instrumentation and developing data acquisition software. Other software engineering and management tasks have ranged from developing test software for the OS/2 graphics engine to multi-threaded client server applications and multi-tier Internet development. David is currently working on a suite of hardware and software tools for data acquisition and control to be used for small-scale manufacturing.
From sensors to reduced data: This One of a kind resource tells you how to interface sensors of various kinds to the PC through the parallel port together with how to analyse and present the collected data. Includes discussion even about selecting power supplies for the job.
