The Use of Microcomputers in Electronics Laboratories

圣地亚哥州立大学物理系将在目前的实验计划中引入微型计算机辅助测量和分析，从而使其先进的电子实验室计算机化。每年大约有100名理科学生将从这项计划中受益，他们将学习如何使用现代微型计算机，并在他们的帮助下加快重复测量任务的速度。每个学生实验站将有一个主机Macintosh微型计算机连接到一个较小的数据采集微控制器。电子数据测量将由微控制器根据学生对主机的命令进行。获得的数值将被发送回主机进行进一步分析。

The Physics Department of San Diego State University will computerize its advanced electronics laboratory by introducing microcomputer aided measurement and analysis to the present experimental program. Approximately 100 science students each year will benefit from this program, both in learning how to use modern microcomputers and in speeding repetitive measurement tasks with their assistance. Each student lab station will have a host Macintosh microcomputer connected to a smaller data acquisition microcontroller. Electronic data measurements will be made by the microcontroller upon student order to the host computer. The numerical values obtained will be sent back to the host for further analysis.
