An existing course in scientific computer interfacing will be updated to utilize modern hardware and software, and will be expanded to include students from several scientific disciplines. The course will cover the basic principles of computer interfacing and data acquisition, the physics of transducers, and signal processing, culminating in a project designed and constructed by each student. Five state-of-the art interfacing workstations designed around the VME bus, and a logic analyzer to facilitate hardware debugging will be acquired, as well as two software/hardware packages which will be used as examples of a commercial data acquisition system. These workstations will be the foundation of the project- oriented course. Students will use them every week to perform experiments in basic computer interfacing, the design and construction of ADC and DAC converters, signal processing techniques, optical and mechanical sensors and motors, high- speed data acquisition and nuclear counting techniques.

现有的科学计算机接口课程将进行更新，以利用现代硬件和软件，并将扩展到包括来自多个科学学科的学生。 该课程将涵盖计算机接口和数据采集、传感器物理学和信号处理的基本原理，最终由每个学生设计和构建一个项目。 将购买五个围绕 VME 总线设计的最先进的接口工作站和一个便于硬件调试的逻辑分析仪，以及两个将用作商业数据采集系统示例的软件/硬件包。 这些工作站将成为项目导向课程的基础。 学生每周将使用它们进行基本计算机接口、ADC 和 DAC 转换器的设计和构造、信号处理技术、光学和机械传感器和电机、高速数据采集和核计数技术等方面的实验。
