Design of a Moderate-Cost Microcomputer Data Acquisition System for Experimental Investigations of Thermal Systems
- Where: | January | 1981
- Abstract
Experimental investigations of thermal systems typically require continuous or periodic monitoring of a relatively large number of analog sensors. Examined are the design criteria and instrumentation requirements for data acquisition systems intended for long-term monitoring of the transient thermal response characteristics of buildings. A microcomputer based system of moderate cost, high flexibility, capable of expansion, and requiring no custom-built components is described. - Authors: J. L. Garbini, A.F. Emery, C.J.
