Class Hours: 2
Lab/Discussion: 2
Credits: 3

Prerequisite: COSC 110
Teaches the fundamentals of interfacing the personal computer to its physical surroundings. Teaches how to collect data and to control experiments in real time. Shows how to use digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) techniques and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) techniques. A graphical software package (such as LabVIEW) is also used to design icon-based interfacing tools, to learn how to use virtual instruments, and to analyze data.
