Synopsis

This book provides a basis by which instruments and transducers can be selected, assembled and integrated with a computer to measure and control physical processes in an accurate and predictable manner. It consists of two parts, the first of which lays the theoretical foundation, whereas the second discusses the importance of the timing of the computer with its instruments, transducers and actuators.
