Computer cased data acquisition and process control is used
extensively in science and engineering. This course introduced
students to the techniques required to use computers to read, store
and analyze experimental data as well as controlling experiments in
real time. Topics covered include a programming language, computer
architecture, signal conditioning and processing, and a variety of
interfacing techniques. A major component of the course is an
extended project involving interfacing a computer to an experiment. A
rudimentary knowledge of computer programming is recommended. (6h
