Description
PC Based Instrumentation and Control is a guide to implementing computer control, instrumentation and data acquisition using

efficiency without compromising quality or reliability. Guidance is given on modifying the circuits and software routines to meet the
reader's specific needs.
The third edition includes updated coverage of PC hardware and bus systems, a new chapter on virtual instruments
and an introduction to programming and software development in a modern 32-bit environment. Additional examples have been included, with
source code and executables available for download from the companion website www.key2control.com.
