This book covers the fundamental knowledge needed for interfacing sensors with a PC using the new framework of virtual instrumentation. The authors focus on the knowledge required by a non-professional to develop a modern monitoring system, i.e. to connect sensors to a PC, to drive GPIB instruments, condition their signals when required, and store and process the data using digital signal processing subroutines available in commercial virtual instrumentation packages. Specifically written for senior undergraduates in engineering and science, as well as practicing engineers and researchers with an interest in using computer-based instrumentation, but with limited knowledge of computer hardware and monitoring software, the text contains numerous numerical and programming examples.This textbook and CD-ROM cover the fundamental knowledge and practical solutions required to interface sensors with a PC using the framework of virtual instrumentation. The authors focus on the knowledge required by a non-specialist to develop a modern monitoring system.
