data base. Data Acquisition The data acquisition interface is the important portion of the system which couples the real world data of the flume into electrical signals for conversion to engineering units for the data base. Output signals are also transferred through this interface for the control necessary to condition the flume for the experimental design. The data acquisition subsystem consists of a printed circuit boards with both input and output capabilities. The signal output contains sixteen channels with code addresses and ISA bus connectors. The input board contains eight channel programmable gain analog, three counter/accumulators, and seven digital I/0. Computer System
