Computer Interface Physics Equipment

这个项目的目的是让我们的学生 拥有最先进的计算机设备， 增加他们对定量物理学的熟悉程度。 到 为了解决这些问题，我们配备了我们的物理实验室， 有12个计算机接口数据采集站， 与传统的实验室设备一起使用， 热、光、声、电、磁和运动。 这些 数据采集系统，由适当的 软件能够存储、分析、操作 和检索，因此比 用于执行物理数据分析的传统方法。 此外，计算机的模拟能力正在被 用于方程的可视化以及 物理系统的建模。 掌握这些设备 为学生提供了解 其他类型设备的工作原理 传感器/换能器/放大器/记录器组件系列。 的 模拟体验帮助学生弥合概念鸿沟 理论和实验之间的联系，希望这个过程 将引导学生提高批判性思维 物理世界中的现象。

The objective of this project is to give our students experience with state-of-the-art computer equipment and to increase their familiarity with quantitative physics. To address these issues, we have equipped our physics laboratory with 12 computer-interfaced data acquisition stations to be used with traditional laboratory equipment for measurements of heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism and motion. These data acquisition systems, supported by the appropriate software, are capable of data storage, analysis, manipulation and retrieval and are therefore more advanced than the traditional methods used to perform analysis of physics data. Also, the simulation capabilities of the computer are being exploited for visualization of equations as well as the modeling of physical systems. Mastery of this equipment provides the students with backgrounds for understanding the operation principles of other types of equipment using the sensor/transducer/amplifier/recorder component series. The simulation experience helps students bridge the conceptual gap between theory and experiment and it is hoped that this process will lead the student to an increase in critical thinking regarding phenomena in the physical world.
