This text describes in practical terms how to use a computer to monitor and control laboratory experiments. The author clearly explains how to design electronic circuits and write programs to sense, analyse and display real-world quantities, including displacement, temperature, force, sound, light, and biomedical potentials. Topics include analog amplification and signal processing, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, electronic sensors and actuators, interfacing circuits and programming. Only a very basic knowledge of electronics is assumed, making it ideal for college-level laboratory courses and for practising engineers and scientists. |
