Tutorial 1

Data AcquisitionSystem&IbhnologyInstructor: Professor Richard C. Jaeger

Auburn UniversityFor Whom IntendedEngineers, scientists, technical people with some knowledge ofmicroprocessors or minicomputers. The course is structured atthe college undergraduate level for people ha-ving a basic under-standing of electronics.Course ObjectiveThis course will provide you with a foundation for understand-ing the characteristics of data acquisition system components in-cluding both analog and digital I/O. The popular methods ofdigital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital (A/D) conversionwill be presented and contrasted. The course will aid you inselecting instrumentation from the current hardware offeringswhich range from monolithic integrated circuits to completemicroprocessor I/O systems on a card. Microprocessor interfac-ing will be discussed, as well as existing standard buses which arein use for data acquisition.Course Outline1. Basic Data Acquisition-System Concepts2. Digital I/O (Digital Input, Digital Output, Timers, Counters)3. Analog Output (D/A Converters)4. Analog Input (Multiplexers, Instrumentation Amplifiers,

Sample-and-Hold Techniques, A/D Converters)5. Microprocessor Interfacing and I/O Control Techniques

(Program-Controlled I/O, Interrupts, DMA)6. Standard Buses (Camac, GPIB, S-100)

Richard C. Jaeger was born in New York, New York, on Septem-ber 2, 1944. He received the BS and ME degrees in ElectricalEngineering in 1966 and the PhD degree in 1969, all from the Uni-versity of Florida, Gainesville.From 1969 to 1974, he was with the IBM General Systems Divi-sion, Boca Raton, Florida, working on data acquisition systemsand small computer architecture. In 1974, he became a researchstaff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center,Yorktown Heights, New York, working on bipolar and FET.de-vice modeling and circuit design. In 1976 he returned to IBM,Boca Raton, where he continued work on understanding the be-havior of MOS devices at low temperatures. In 1979 he joinedthe Electrical Engineering Department at Auburn Universitywhere he is an associate professor.Dr. Jaeger has published approximately 25 technical papers andarticles, and has served as a member of the Program Committeefor the 1979 and 1980 International Solid State Circuits Confer-ences. He is presently acting as a guest editor for the IEEE Journalof Solid State Circuits and Transactions on Computers Joint Spe-cial Issue on Microcomputers and Microprocessors.Dr. Jaeger is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, SigmaTau, Eta Kappa Nu, and a senior member of the IEEE.

Tutorial 2

MiniMiroomutrApplicationsInstructor: Professor Michael Andrews

Colorado State UniversityFor Whom IntendedEngineers, physical scientists, managers who understand mini-computers and have some knowledge of microprocessors. If youwant further information about applying microcomputers, withsome hands-on explanation of several current hardware offer-ings, then this course will address your needs. Comparisons withminicomputer applications will enhance your understanding.Course ObjectiveBeginning with a brief review of microcomputer hardware andsoftware, this applications course is intended to build on yourknowledge of basic hardware configurations, memory systems,I/O Schema, and debugging methods. Understanding the differ-ences in approach for applying minicomputers and microcom-puters will be the theme of the course. The emphasis will be onmicrocomputer applications. Specifically, the software develop-ment process, development of the hardware system, hardware/software tradeoffs, interfacing, system specification, and somedevelopment cases will be covered. A general understanding ofthe process is one goal of the course. The course will close withan explanation of the important highlights of the hardware de-velopment process.Course Outline1. Reminder of current minicomputer characteristics and

capabilities.2. Review of microcomputer hardware and software.3. The software development process.4. Development of the hardware system.5. Hardware, software tradeoffs.6. Interfacing.7. System specification.8. Some development case studies.Michael Andrews was born in Clifton, New Jersey, on April 19,1940. He received the BA and BS degrees in Economics and Elec-trical Engineering from, Rutgers University, New Brunswick,New Jersey, in 1962 and 1963 and the MS and PhD degrees inElectrical Engineering from the University of Arizona, Tucson,Arizona, in 1968 and 1972, respectively.From 1963 to 1966 he was an Electronics Officer, USAF in theAir Force Research and Development Command, Florida. From1966 to 1968 he was a design engineer at Hughes Aircraft Com-pany, Tucson, Arizona. Since 1969 he has been president ofSpace Tech Company, a computer design consultation company.Since September of 1974 he has been an associate professor withthe Computer Science Department at Colorado State University,Fort Collins, Colorado.Dr. Andrews is a member of IEEE, a Registered ProfessionalEngineer, published over thirty papers, and has a textbook forth-coming entitled Microprogram Control.
