Pool Data Acquisition System Documentation

摘要

This report describes a data acquisition system developed to obtain body temperature measurements for human volunteers during cold exposure. Since acceptable commercial systems are not available, this system was custom-built to acquire data using National Instruments hardware components and LabVIEW 6.0 Development Software. The system works by integrating signals collected by hardware devices, and the software processes/manipulates by using Virtual Instruments (VI's). This report provides detailed documentation for the construction and operation of the data acquisition system. This report is intended to allow a technician to duplicate or modify this system, given general background knowledge in National Instrument's LabVIEW graphical programming language.
