A practical approach to microcomputer interfacing which emphasizes hands-on laboratory experience. Describing in practical terms how to use the microcomputer to sense real-world quantities - such as temperature, force, sound, light etc. - to rapidly analyze data, display the results, or use the results to perform a control function the new edition of this text shows the range of problems in data acquisition, displays analysis, and control that can be tackled in a cost-effective manner, and provides background material in microcomputer architecture and interfacing, analog-digital conversion, electronic transducts and the amplification they require, analog signal processing, interfacing circuits programming, data analysis, and control. The book presents a practical approach to data analysis including easy-to-use formulas for statistical analysis, curve fitting, Fast Fourier Transforms and control and gives coverage of systems for microcomputers. It also includes sections on Windowing and Digital Control using Fourier Techniques, and an improved description of graphics for comparator hysteresis.
