متن کاملVirtual Instrumentation in an Undergraduate Electrical Machines Lab
At OSU, we have substantially completed a major instru-mentation upgrade of the undergraduate energy conversion laboratory. We are now utilizing digital signal acquisition and virtual instrumentation (using National Instruments' LabVIEW software) to collect and visualize data. Data from GPIB digital oscilloscopes can also be acquired in our setup. Dynamometers have been purchased which interfac...
متن کاملDSP in High Performance Oscilloscopes
Abstract: The digital signal processing revolution began around 1980 as the first dedicated digital signal processors began to appear. Since that time DSP has been incorporated into just about every aspect of modern electronics. Oscilloscopes are no exception. Digital storage oscilloscopes have almost totally replaced analog oscilloscopes. They use DSP in acquisition modes, averaging, interpola...
متن کاملScanning A/D Converters, Waveform Digitizers, and Oscilloscopes
Scanning A/Ds, waveform digitizers and oscilloscopes all digitize analog signals. In all three instrument types, the purpose is to capture all significant details (i.e., frequency components) of the input waveform so that information can be extracted. These instruments differ in how performance parameters are optimized, the depth of user control over the data acquisition process, and the level ...
متن کاملg-PRIME: A Free, Windows Based Data Acquisition and Event Analysis Software Package for Physiology in Classrooms and Research Labs
We present g-PRIME, a software based tool for physiology data acquisition, analysis, and stimulus generation in education and research. This software was developed in an undergraduate neurophysiology course and strongly influenced by instructor and student feedback. g-PRIME is a free, stand-alone, windows application coded and "compiled" in Matlab (does not require a Matlab license). g-PRIME su...
