Modular Data Acquisition and Display Software System for a Laboratory Environment

摘要

This report describes the processes involved in acquiring and analyzing experimental laboratory data using a medium sized computer in a multi-programming environment with a modular software system. Research involving Phase Change Materials and Calorimetric Performance measurements in building research are used as case studies to describe the functional capabilities and operational procedures of the system. The software system consists of computer programs which allow the researcher to collect, store, and analyze data graphically.
