Although technology has developed significantly, and continues to change at a rapid pace, this third edition of PC Based Instrumentation and Control contains a measure of guidance on computer control, instrumentation and data acquisition using a standard PC and some of the most popular computer languages.
Numerous examples of configurations and working circuits, as well as representative software, offer basic hands-on guidance to implementing PC-based testing and calibration systems and increasing efficiency. It shows some methods for modifying the circuits and software routines.
The third edition gives some coverage of PC hardware, bus systems, and virtual instruments. It introduces programming and software development in a 32-bit environment. Additional examples have been included, with source code and executables available for download from the companion website www.key2control.com

“Mike Tooley’s book is a good practical introduction on how to use a computer to control and monitor external transducers and sensors. The content of the book fully justifies the author’s claim that it provides sufficient information to make an informed decision on which hardware and software is needed to implement a range of instrumentation and control systems.”
― Mike Button, Media Electronics World, March 2006
