Applied Instrumentation Using the PIC Microcontroller

introduction instrumentation is a broad field, and in the past, industrial instruments were mechanical and it required understanding the physics of how the components reacted with their environment to implement a system or device to produce a reliable measurement for example, temperature is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules this would be demonstrated by the expansion observed in the mercury held in the thermometer as it progressed up the tube while these remain accurate methods to take a measurement, they are redundant systems as far as modern instrumentation is concerned modern industry cannot rely on a person ro visually asses a read out, capture that data and then transpose that data into action rather, the imperative requirement is for digitised systems to collate the data derived from the modern day electronic equivalents of capturing the same values and making them available to monitoring systems this series will endeavor to describe the principles and practice required to take the basic components and combine them into a system that both monitors and provides some level of control to the user previous titles applied pic micro development docid\ lajcng6wihdbuo96kowrp applied automation using embedded technology docid 3bizujwrcl3flifxt7pky
