Abstract
Experiments 3, 4, and 5 of the Logic Experiment section introduced you to the various devices which are necessary in order for the computer to acquire analog data in useful or digitized form. It is, of course, necessary that these devices be combined in such a way as to allow the computer complete control of the direct entry of the data. The necessary devices generally consist of four parts: an analog-to-digital converter to digitize the analog signal, a buffer register to store the digitized data temporarily, a time-base generator to determine the appropriate digitization frequency, and, finally, control logic to properly sequence the digitization of the analog signal and the transfer of the digital value into the computer.
