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, analyse 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 practising engineers and scientists.

Everything you need to know about using a PC to monitor and control laboratory experiments
Full of practical circuit designs and C-code examples
Ideal for students and practising scientists.
