Interfacing and Virtual Instrumentation
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 232 or COMP 256 and MATH 125 and one of (PHYS 105, PHYS 112, PHYS 093 or Physics 12).
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
In this course students will learn how to create computerized control and analysis equipment for experimental work. This includes interfacing a computer or microcontroller, such as the Arduino microcontroller, to various instruments for data acquisition and instrument control using a state-of-the-art software platform such as National Instrument's LabVIEW. Emphasis is on the practical aspects of interfacing a computer or microcontroller to various instruments including timing issues, real-time data acquisition and instrument control, instrument status, and acquisition speed.
Note: Students with credit for PHYS 392 cannot take ENPH 360 for further credit.
