Description
The course in computer interfacing which assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. Students will learn signal processing techniques, including noise reduction, A/D converters, and digital filters. These techniques are illustrated both in hardware as well as simulated in software using the LabVIEW graphical programming environment. The course also covers the data acquisition interfacing the software systems to hardware devices. There is a large laboratory component consisting of about ten week-long laboratory exercises. This course will take advantage of available inexpensive, open-source data acquisition hardware. Recommended Prerequisites: PHYS 2220 AND PHYS 2225.
