The book contains five chapters, covering digital tools, analog tools, conversion between analog and digital signals, sensors and actuators, and data analysis and control. The 27 laboratory exercises can be used either in a college-level laboratory course or as working examples for practicing engineers and scientists who wish to apply sensor, low-level amplification, and microcomputer principles in their work in a practical and immediate way.
This material was developed for two one-semester laboratory courses in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of California in Berkeley, EECS 145L: “Electronic Transducer Laboratory” and EECS 145M: “Microcomputer Interfacing Laboratory.” The purpose of these two courses is to provide upper-level undergraduate students with the tools needed to sense and control “real-world” quantities, such as temperature and force, as well as to display the results of “real-time” analyses, such as least-squares fitting, the Student’s t test, fast Fourier transforms, digital filtering, etc. It is assumed that the students have had some exposure to elementary analog and digital electronics, differential calculus and linear algebra, and the C programming language.
