Keyboard data-acquisition system


Posted on Feb 21, 2013

The most important criteria of a data-acquisition system for college science laboratories are simplicity and price rather than precision or speed. The data-acquisition system in Figure 1 offers adequate precision of less than 0.5% and speed of 1 Hz to replace the outdated laboratory chart recorder in student laboratories. You can install the system in 5 sec, operate it with a single toggle switch, and construct it for approximately $40. The only additional equipment necessary is a computer running Excel and an ATbus (not Universal serial bus), keyboard.



The system is simple to operate. After you install it between the keyboard and the PC, the keyboard functions normally until you close the toggle switch, which puts the circuit into "acquire" mode. The system then bypasses the keyboard and "
