A personal computer-based linked scan control and data acquisition system capable of real-time signal averaging

The design of a simple and low cost 10-bit data acquisition system is presented which makes use of the peripherals of a PIC16F877 microcontroller, interfacing with a personal computer using the extended capabilities of the parallel port. The system is integrated with a visual programming tool based on LabVIEW data acquisition software, which provides design flexibility and real time signal processing capabilities. An optimum assembly code for the PIC microcontroller allows for a free-running mean sampling rate of 100KSps on a Pentium PC running Windows XP OS. This system can be an example of a low cost integrated approach for data acquisition that includes a microcontroller, a personal computer and visual measurement software. The system can be the basis of a A/D interface for many measurement applications and can also be seen as an educational paradigm in itself. An effective and fast DAC solution is also presented in full integration with the microcontroller and the computer parallel port.

This paper presents the study of dynamic electrical resistance of the electrodeposition cell during the growth metallic dendrites showing fractal character. The electric resistance of the circular electrodeposition cell is measured in real time using a computer based data acquisition system. The data acquisition system constructed is capable of measuring the cell voltage and the current through the cell under program control at pre-decided intervals. This allows for the measurement of the dynamic electrical resistance of the electrodeposition cell. The system is based on standard analogue to digital controller ADC interfaced to the computer through the printer port.
