PC Based Instrumentation and Control

TRAMA

"PC Based Instrumentation and Control" is a guide to implementing computer control, instrumentation and data acquisition using a standard PC and some of the most popular computer languages. <BR>Numerous examples of configurations and working circuits, as well as representative software, make this a practical, hands-on guide to implementing PC-based testing and calibration systems and increasing efficiency without compromising quality or reliability. Guidance is given on modifying the circuits and software routines to meet the reader's specific needs. <BR>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. <BR> Save money and increase efficiency with an instrumentation and control strategy using a standard PC<BR> Ideal for educational courses in control engineering and instrumentation create simple but realistic PC-based simulations<BR> A companion website provides downloadable executables, source code, links to manufacturers and suppliers, and additional reference material
