Abstract
There is in our current industrial milieu an increasing demand for systems capable of detecting and processing a large number of analog signals for the computer.
The present work offers an approach for a multichannel real time acquisition system which will find a wide variety of applications in machine automation, process control, musical instruments, remote sensing, etc.
The system presented in this thesis follows traditional instrumentation architecture and implements that architecture around the latest microcontroller, the 8052. The system, capable of assigning a processing priority to a large number of incoming events, is demostrated for 40 channels. It is fast in operation and it exploits the latest software-in-silicone to enormously reduce development time and create a system easily and quickly modified for a multichannel operation.
