New Keithley Handbook Offers Practical Tips, Theory and Illustrations for Data Acquisition and Control
The Data Acquisition and Control Handbook is an indispensable reference for engineers, scientists, educators, and industrial users involved with building, integrating, and programming PC-based test systems, boards and stand-alone instruments. It offers many practical suggestions and illustrations based on Keithley's years of user application support in data acquisition, and the company's leadership in measurement technology:
- Hardware set-up tips that help data acquisition users maximize the integrity of test results by avoiding common problems such as noise sources, software latencies, and digital I/O design issues, to name a few.
- Diagrams and formulas for configuring and using common transducers and I/O components such as thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages, and digital devices.
- Information to help the user choose computing platforms, data acquisition peripherals, and software, with emphasis on connectivity and communication protocols.
- Basic electronic theory of op amps, capacitors, inductors, resistors, and other components, which will help users design and optimize data acquisition circuits.
The handbook also includes examples of data acquisition systems taken from real-world, customer-based applications, with explanations of why given hardware and software solutions were chosen.
The Keithley Data Acquisition and Control Handbook is the third in a series of three handbooks covering different facets of measurement technology. Keithley's Low Level Measurements handbook, now in its 5th Edition, has been regarded as a definitive source on instrumentation and techniques for the measurement of sub-microvolt signals for many years. A newly revised 4th Edition of Keithley's Switching Handbook, outlining the design and assembly of high performance switching systems using mainframes, scanners, matrices, and multiplexers, was recently introduced.
