Synopsis
The book includes a CD and 2 PCBs. In the world today, computers are used to control everything from children s toys to spacecraft. Controlling external devices is an important and very popular function of computers. But how is it done? How do computers control such devices? How does software interact with the hardware? This book offers readers a hands-on approach to understanding the important hardware/software computer interface of the most popular computer systems. All the relevant components are defined in easy-to-understand language and the book explains how they all work together in the computer. It does this by working with the reader to designing and building hardware circuits for the computer interface and then writing programs that operate the hardware. The relevant hardware components are provided as are the programs for those readers not wishing to write their own. The book: teaches the reader to write VB programs explains the main function of PC buses shows how to interface external devices to a PC using an ISA bus designs hardware circuits to control the I/O signals of a parallel port and writes VB programs to control the designed hardware using the Intel 8255PPI, shows the techniques for interfacing a general purpose programmable peripheral interface device to the microprocessor system bus using an ADC0804 chip, shows how to set up a system for collecting analog values (analogue to digital conversion) using a DAC0800 chip, shows how to set up a system to output analog values (digital to analogue conversion) develops a hardware interface circuit to use the 8254PIT (Programmable Interval Timer) and then writes a VB program teaches the reader how to design hardware and software for a complete PC based data acquisition (DAQ) system using components and software developed in earlier chapters.

About the Author
Prof. Jae-Sam PARK received his Master of Engineering Science and Ph.D. degree from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 1986 and 1995 respectively. During 1987-1989, he took up a position as assistant manager at Dae Woo Central R&D Institute in Dae Woo Heavy Industries Ltd., Korea, where he was involved for research and development of industrial robot controllers including hardware design and real-time programming. During 1989-1991, he worked for Scientia Group, Australia, where he was involved in developing manufacturing and commercial software packages. Since 1994, he has been working as a Professor at Incheon City College in Korea and as a consultant engineer to large Korean companies such as Samsung and LG. His research interest is developing control strategies for electro-mechanical systems and robotics. Prof Jeff Barker received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and First Class Honours in Computer Science in 1973 from the University of NSW, Australia. He taught at that university and the University of Sydney until 1978. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Information Systems and Operations Research in 1983 from the University of New South Wales. From 1978, he started software companies in Sydney and Singapore with two partners. These companies were merged and subsequently listed on the ASX in 2000. In 1991, he returned to academe at Bond University whilst still working in industry. He started writing this book whilst at Bond University and then as Dean of the College of Computer Science and Information Technology at Abu Dhabi University. He now works in industry, consulting and designing education and SCM systems for the emerging information age, Information Generation 3 (IG3).
