Features: This book is a distillation of the author's 15 years of teaching experience at the University of California, Berkeley. It provides a detailed explanation of the process of PC interface experiments. Specific issues covered include: how to design the electronic circuits required for experiments; how to write computer programs to measure, analyze, and display actual physical quantities, such as displacement, temperature, pressure, and light wave wavelengths. The book not only contains a large number of experimental exercises but also features a rich appendix that provides practical information on computer architecture and interfaces, complete with detailed charts and illustrations. The topics covered include analog amplifiers, signal processing, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, electronic sensors and actuators, digital-analog interface circuits, data analysis and control, etc. Before reading this book, readers are expected to have a basic understanding of electronics. This book can be used as a university-level textbook for electronic technology and microcomputer interface technology experiments, as well as for reference by professional technicians and researchers in related fields.
