Digital technology has revolutionized the way scientists approach the measurement and the analysis of experimental data. Today's laboratory instruments are capable of digitizing complex detector responses, produce instant numerical readouts, and transfer the information to a computer for further processing and permanent storage. Once loaded into a computer, these datafiles can be accurately compared to theoretical expectations with relative ease using commonly available commercial software. While such procedures are currently the norm in most research or industrial laboratories, they are often ignored in introductory physics laboratories where many aspiring science students gain their first and often last chance to study experimental methods in the physical sciences. This project is modifying an existing set of undergraduate laboratory experiments involving analog oscilloscopes, commonly performed at most institutions, to include an introduction to digital technology and computer data analysis. The project is being implemented with the acquisition of analog/digital oscilloscopes, IBM compatible personal computers, and commonly available scientific software for these computers.

数字技术彻底改变了科学家 探讨了实验数据的测量和分析。 今天的实验室仪器能够数字化 复杂的探测器响应，产生即时的数字读数， 并将信息传输到计算机， 加工和永久储存。 一旦载入电脑， 这些曲线可以准确地与理论曲线相比较， 期望相对容易地使用常用的 商业软件。 虽然这些程序目前 在大多数研究或工业实验室中， 在入门物理实验室中经常被忽视， 有抱负的理科学生获得了他们的第一个，也往往是最后一个 有机会学习物理科学的实验方法。 这个项目是修改现有的一套本科 涉及模拟示波器的实验室实验，通常 在大多数机构进行，包括介绍 数字技术和计算机数据分析。 该项目 通过采集模拟/数字信号 示波器，IBM兼容的个人电脑，通常 这些计算机的科学软件。
