Construction and Implementation of a Low-Cost Electronic Experiment Control Interface

Abstract

Low-cost electronic experiment control boards (ECBs), developed by Walter and Palya (1984), were constructed and implemented for use at the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory. Each ECB was wired to control experiments using animals as subjects. The ECBs have been connected to IBM-compatible microcomputers and serve essentially as intelligent interfaces between the subject and the microcomputer. Relative advantages and disadvantages of the control board, including construction and programming techniques, as well as cost, are discussed. Keywords: Experiment Control Computer; Construction.
