This practical text describes how to use a desk-top computer to monitor and control laboratory experiments. Stephen Derenzo clearly explains how to design electronic circuits and write computer programs to sense, analyze and display real-world quantities, including displacement, temperature, force, sound, light, and biomedical potentials. He includes numerous laboratory exercises and appendices that provide practical information on microcomputer architecture and interfacing, including complete circuit diagrams and component lists. A very basic knowledge of electronics is assumed, making the book ideal for college-level laboratory courses and for practicing engineers and scientists.

Book Description
This text describes in practical terms how to use a computer to monitor and control laboratory experiments. The author clearly explains how to design electronic circuits and write programs to sense, analyse and display real-world quantities, including displacement, temperature, force, sound, light, and biomedical potentials. Topics include analog amplification and signal processing, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, electronic sensors and actuators, interfacing circuits and programming. Only a very basic knowledge of electronics is assumed, making it ideal for college-level laboratory courses and for practising engineers and scientists.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book helped me a lot.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Practical Interfacing in the Laboratory: Using a PC for Instrumentation, Data Analysis and Control (Hardcover)
I ordered this book specifically because it included programming examples for the Data Translation 3010 plug-in board. The examples given in the book are more than sufficient for showing users how to use this product (as well as other Data Translation products such as their newer USB DAQ modules)for data acquisition.
The author covers virtually all topics necessary for the reader to gain a solid understanding of what is required to interface sensors and actuators to an IBM PC. I particularly liked the discussion of op-amps in Chapter 2. There are twenty-seven laboratory exercises that illustrate the concepts covered in the text. These exercises cover a broad range of real-world data acquisition scenarios.
