Abstract: The availability of data acquisition systems in the form of single integrated circuits provides an opportunity to apply microcomputers to a wide range of laboratory experiments with relative ease. The ADC0816, hereinafter called the 816, is one such system consisting of an 8 bit analogue-digital converter which has 16 input channels. Voltages of up to 5 V may be applied to each of the input channels and a particular input channel is selected by setting the corresponding 4 bit binary number on the address line of the multiplexer. The output from the system is an 8 bit binary number proportional to the voltage applied to the selected input channel. By altering the Typical result on a Pet screen

A microprocessor laboratory in a physics department
TL;DR: In this article, a microprocessor laboratory is described for teaching science students whose principal interest lies in interfacing the microprocessor to equipment for control and data handling purposes, but rather than complicate the laboratory work with scientific experiments, simple peripherals like LEDS and switches are used, along with an ADC and DACs which invariably drive an oscilloscope.

A modular system of interfacing microcomputers
TL;DR: Examination questions would be well for examination questions to be in the form of ‘Name the unit of potential difference’, not ‘Name a unit of potential difference’.
