LAN-Based Data Acquisition System

摘要

Steve built his LanDas LAN-based data acquisition system as a replacement for his old serial-based design. It enables him to reuse code and software to acquire data with his PC. It's annoying how hard and expensive it is to get a new design going and gather data. I'd always dreamed of having a simple, inexpensive device that would enable to me to reuse code and software and quickly gather some data with my PC. Over the years, I'd had varied success with this (see Photo 1). But recently, because of the convergence of several factors, that dream became a reality. My LanDas is the latest in a long line of PC-based data acquisition systems that I have designed largely for my own use.
