  • Summary

    This chapter considers the application of computers to data gathering. Computers play a key role in data gathering as well as the analysis and presentation of data derived from experiments. An appreciation of the power and limitations of computers used in this context requires some familiarity with the performance and characteristics of transducers, signal conditioning circuits, and DAQ software. Several options for data gathering are explored, including plug and play systems, the Arduino microcontroller, and smartphones that utilise their on-board sensors.
