Data Acquisition, Reduction, and Analysis Using a Microcomputer.

Abstract

Manual entry of data into a computer has been a significant problem since the invention of computers. In order to process data(in most cases), information must be typed into the computer. Manual entry of data is a laborious task when compared to reading data from a disk or receiving data from another electronic source. Many different types of electronic equipment are used to collect data from experiments. This equipment generates large amounts of data Script charts are usually graphs of voltage versus time, and discrete data points must be measured and converted to a final result using correlations. This data is then manually entered into the computer for reduction and analyses. This report describes one method of eliminating the manual entry of test data. This approach applies to many data collection situations.
