TECH 231 - Automation of Data Acquisition

The automation of data acquisition is essential for measurements in R&D as well as industrial environments where massive amounts of data are collected, especially when the data are to be collected much more rapidly than what is possible manually. The main topics covered are sources of signals, selection of appropriate transducers, and signal conditioning needed before signal is converted to digital format for computer controlled data acquisition and analysis. Students will complete a team-based case study project in which they will define and develop an innovative data acquisition solution using appropriate hardware and software tools. Prerequisites: ESC 174, MAT 152 or placement into Math Level 4, TECH 122, TECH 123. Prerequisite: take ESC-174, TECH-122, TECH-123;
