Σύνοψη

The objective of this project was to design and construct a PC based system capable of measuring voltage signals coming from various types of sensors. The system should consist of a board offering facilities for connection of more that one input circuits and direct connection to the printer cable of any ordinary PC. Accompanying software should be written to fully control and exploit the capabilities of the board. The system should offer the capability for data capture and the display and analysis of this data on an ordinary PC running Windows.
The first chapter deals in general with the field of Data Acquisition giving useful information and the explanation of terms to follow. A definition of what a data logger system is, is also given.
The second chapter has to do with hardware development. It includes a description of all the basic circuits and subcircuits.
The third chapter describes how the software was written using Visual Basic 5.
The fourth chapter describes some testing done to verify the working condition of the system and contains conclusions on the extend of fulfillment of the main objectives IQf the project.
At the end of the project an attachment contains four diskettes with the source code of the program used, a working version of the program, as well as the project report in Microsoft Word format.
