MICROPROCESSORS AND INTERFACING Programming and Hardware

Author(s) T.F. Bogart, Jr. Jeffrey S. Beasley Guillermo Rico Berlin & Getz David A Bell Johon Webb and Kevin Greshock Douglas V. Hall

Course Objectives: This course covers the basic use and application of sensors, transducers and electronic measuring instruments. The theory of analogue DC and AC measuring instruments is first established which is then used to study analog electronic and digital meters. Different types of sensors and transducer are studied with their analog and digital interfacing. The use and application of different measuring instruments are also covered.
