RE: how to use computers to interface with data aqusistion device
Iam actually working in a field which u r actually looking for.I will give you a few tips to start with:
Look for the device drive driver software for the device by which u r going to communicate with the device u want to.Most of the companies making data acquisation products provide a device driver configuration utility for making the device read the input from device and send back the o/p to it.The devices come with a RS232 cable for communicating with the PC via comport.
for more information, reply with ur requirements and specify the kind of information u r looking for.I think I will be person whom ur looking for help.I will provide with all the information u require.
