Description
* Covers all aspects of the data acquisition system from design and specification to programming, installation and configuration
* Gives
both the novice and experienced user a solid understanding of interfacing the PC and standalone instruments to real-world signals from
the laboratory to the industrial plant
* Provides a thorough grasp of PC data acquisition systems and the ability to design, specify,
install and configure and program data acquisition systems quickly and effectively
This book focuses on data acquisition and control
using the PC and standalone instruments. The PC has made a dramatic impact in the ease with which the technician, scientist and engineer
today can set up their own test and measurement system at a remarkably low cost. And this book aims to show you how easy it is with plenty
of carefully researched information. The popular IEEE 488 interface is also covered. All aspects of the data acquisition system are included
from design and specification to programming, installation and configuration. This book gives both the novice and experienced user a
solid grasp of the principles and practical implementation of interfacing the PC and standalone instruments to real-world signals from
the laboratory to the industrial plant. Once you have read the book, you will have a thorough grasp of PC data acquisition systems and
will be able to design, specify, install and configure and program data acquisition systems quickly and effectively.
