Advanced Instrumentation and Computer I/O Design: Real-Time Computer Interactive Engineering

Advanced Instrumentation and Computer I/O Design provides an improved understanding of computer interfacing and includes these key features:

• Accurate data from the analog input circuits through the data conversion devices and output reconstruction components
• Descriptions of component errors including average filter errors, signal quality errors and the intersample error representation and improvement of sampled-data signals
• The extension to advanced interfacing and distributed I/O systems such as imaging and digital control
