Microcomputer Based Data Acquisition and Analysis for Undergraduate Physiology Laboratories

正在向本科生生理学实验室提供数据采集和分析的现代方法。这种设备不仅加强了现有的实验室实验，而且还增加了所进行的实验的数量，同时提供了可量化的数据和使用科学分析中常用的软件。生理换能器连接到连接到个人计算机的市场上可获得的数据采集系统。每个系统使两个学生小组能够使用一个计算机系统。软件模拟和数学模型也被用来加强理解。基于计算机的采集设备的集成应该会减少许多学生使用以前设备时所经历的挫折感。这所大学将捐赠一笔相当于该奖项的金额。

Modern methods of data acquisition and analysis are being provided to undergraduate physiology laboratories. This equipment is not only enhancing existing laboratory experiments, but is also increasing the number of experiments performed while providing quantifiable data and access to software commonly used in scientific analysis. Physiological transducers are attached to a commercially available data acquisition system that is connected to a personal computer. Each system enables two student groups to utilize one computer system. Software simulations and mathematical models are also used to enhance comprehension. The integration of computer-based acquisition equipment should reduce the frustration level that many students experienced with the previous equipment. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
