Computer Based Instruments

About Computer Based Instruments

Computer-based instruments are part of a computer (a board, for example), or need to be connected to a computer in order to measure and display data. There are several types of computer based instruments. Examples include computer-based spectrum analyzers, computer-based oscilloscopes, and computer laboratory instruments. A computer-based oscilloscope transforms a signal into a pattern or waveform and produces a graph of voltage against time on a computer screen. A computer-based spectrum analyzer is an instrument which can also be connected to a computer and is used to measure frequency spectrum of the signal. A computer laboratory instrument is used for the purpose of analyzing, testing, and verifying various concepts and equipments in laboratories. A technique called digital and vector modulation is popularly used for establishing communication between computers. Other computer based instruments are commonly available.
