Data Acquisition Instrumentation for Acoustic Spectrum Analysis in an Undergraduate Course in Musical Acoustics

威尔斯学院的物理系将购买用于声谱分析的数据采集仪器。该设备将主要用于音乐声学的本科跨学科课程，以及声音的谐和分析的实验室演示教学。其他用途包括与音乐系合作进行乐器谐波分析的本科生研究；与计算机科学系合作进行微处理器接口和实验控制方面的演示和实验室工作；以及在主流入门物理课程中演示信号和波的物理原理以及傅里叶变换。该仪器是基于IBM PC的，因此用途广泛，价格合理，是当前技术的代表。该大学将捐赠等同于该奖项的金额。

The physics department at Wells College will buy Data Acquisition Instrumentation for acoustic Spectrum Analysis. The equipment will be used primarily in an undergraduate interdisciplinary course in musical acoustics, for laboratory demonstration instruction in harmonic analysis of sound. Other uses include undergraduate research in harmonic analysis of musical instruments, in conjunction with the Music department; demonstration and lab work in microprocessor interfacing and experiment control, in conjunction with the Computer Science department; and demonstration of principles of the physics of signals and waves, and the Fourier transform, in mainstream introductory Physics courses. The instrumentation is IBM PC-based, and so is versatile, reasonably priced, and representative of current technology. The University will contribute an amount equal to the award.
