Upper Division Computer-Based Physics Experiments

为了加强高级仪器仪表课程，威斯康星大学奥什科什分校将购买三台带有实验室软件、数据采集卡、IEEE-488接口、数字信号处理卡、频率计和热电偶、流量计和加速度计使用的模拟信号调理电路的微型计算机。该实验室将同时服务于物理专业和计算机科学专业的学生，重点是电子和仪器仪表。该设备还将加强高级实验物理课程、高级设计项目和计算机科学实习。该项目的核心是发展实验，在实验中可以收集、处理、分析、绘制多个通道的数据，并将结果与适用边值问题的数值解所作的预测进行比较。这类实验的例子包括板的振动，流体流过障碍物，以及板内的温度分布或热流。

9451794 Knispel To augment an upper-division instrumentation course, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh will purchase three microcomputers with laboratory software, data acquisition cards, IEEE-488 interfaces, digital signal processing cards, frequency meters, and analog signal conditioning circuitry for thermocouple, flow meter and accelerometer use. This laboratory will serve both physics majors and computer science majors electing the emphasis in electronics and instrumentation. The equipment will also enhance an advanced experimental physics course, a senior design project, and a computer science practicum. Central to the project is the development of experiments where multiple channels of data can be collected, processed, analyzed, plotted and the results compared to predictions made from numerical solution of the applicable boundary value problems. Examples of such experiments include the vibrations of a plate, fluid flow past an obstruction, and temperature distributions or heat flow in a plate.
