A Microcomputer Based Scanning Pressure Measurement System.

Abstract

There is a requirement in the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratory's Compressor Research Facility (CRF) for a multichannel pressure measurement system which can easily integrate into its present data acquisition system. The requirement for this system is based on a need for measurement of a large number of steady state pressures emanating from gas turbine engine compressor test vehicles. Implementation of such a system would greatly expand the data gathering capability of the CRF while vacating presently available channels for use in higher response pressure measurement applications. This report describes in detail the design and implementation of a scanning pressure measurement system which uses a personal computer as the controlling and data processing element. Keywords: Data acquisition, pressure measurement, microcomputer, Pressure scanning.
