Features: Do you want to build a measurement system capable of capturing and analyzing various physical quantities in the real world, such as speed, temperature, force, pressure, voltage, current intensity, and resistance? This book provides a guide on how to establish and use PC-based data acquisition systems to measure these physical quantities and how to perform software programming. You can find some design ideas that may interest you in this book:
· Electronic measurement using sensors and signal conditioning circuits
· Converting analog signals to digital
· Collecting, compressing, storing, simplifying, analyzing, and displaying measurement data through software programming
Author McCombs explains all the basic concepts that appear in measurement systems. You will learn how to select voltage sources, sensors, and converters, and you can even learn how to develop PC-based voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters!
