Abstract
The ways in which the various roles of the computer (data logging, control, signal processing, interpretation and dynamic modelling) can be combined to provide powerful measurement methods are discussed with the aid of examples. Pitfalls associated with computer power are considered. The influence of the introduction of microcomputers is traced with particular reference to recent applications in scientific and medical measurements.Keywords
