Synopsis

A PC is normally the first choice for scientific, educational, industrial and hobby users who require a computer to control and/or monitor a piece of external equipment. A PC can actually interface to a peripheral device by way of several routes. One of these is via the standard ISA expansion slots, a method better suited to more advanced users. Easier options are provided in the form of the parallel an serial ports. In this guide all three methods are covered in some detail, including tried and tested circuits for any necessary hardware. The software side of things is also covered with both MS-DOS and Windows programs. This book contains everything that the user need to know about the practical interfacing of electronic devices to a PC.
