How to Turn the PC Into a Measurement System

Patrika Gellya book "How to turn your PC into a measurement system" allows you to create on the basis of IBM PC-compatible personal computer data acquisition and processing system of various physical processes. Thus, the PC becomes a powerful measuring instrument. Scope virtual measuring complex wider than conventional, the measuring device as a virtual set can be reprogrammed and optimized for specific tasks. The book describes the creation of the data collection and processing system, comprising sensors of physical quantities (current, pressure, temperature, etc.), the interface device (typically, an analog-digital converter), and software tools to process and interpret the information gathered . Schemes and recommendations contained in the book, allow to collect all the above devices independently. Software and device drivers are on www.dak.ru server allow you to immediately go to the development of the information system, even if you do not have practical skills in the field of electronics. Modern hardware and software solutions offered by the author, are reliable and tested in practice. They, no doubt, will be useful to everyone who is developing a cheap and cost-effective system for collecting and processing information. The book is intended for specialists in various fields (electronics, acoustics, geophysics, thermodynamics, etc.) and radio, as well as for teachers of physics and computer science schools and higher education institutions.
