DESCRIPTION:
He was formerly Vice Principal at Brooklands College in Surrey, England, where he was responsible for the delivery of learning to over 10,000 Further and Higher Education students increasingly by flexible, open and on-line distance learning. Mike's hobbies include astronomy, amateur radio, aviation, computing and electronic circuit design and construction.. Mike Tooley is a technical author and consultant. Mike is the well-known author of several popular engineering and related text
Additional examples have been included, with source code and executables available for download from the companion website key2control. It shows some methods for modifying the circuits and software routines.The third edition gives some coverage of PC hardware, bus systems, and virtual instruments. It introduces programming and software development in a 32-bit environment. Although technology has developed significantly, and continues to change at a rapid pace, this third edition of PC Based Instrumentation and Control contains a measure of guidance on computer control, instrumentation and data acquisition using a standard PC and some of the most popular computer languages.Numerous examples of configurations and working circuits, as well as representative software, offer basic hands-on guidance to implementing PC-based testing and calibration systems and increasing efficiency
"Good, but not quite the book I was looking for." according to Bill M.. A large portion of the book is dedicated to the history, design, and evolution of the PC. While it seems well written and is interesting, it is not particularly important to the topic of the book which is PC-based instrumentation and control. A little less than half the book (chapters 8-1Good, but not quite the book I was looking for. A large portion of the book is dedicated to the history, design, and evolution of the PC.

This book is out of date. There's no mention of the USB serial interface or how to use it for PC-based instrumentation in this book. I should have bought a newer edition.. R. Little said Five Stars. Got it in great shape, Thanks.
The content of the book fully justifies the author’s claim that it provides sufficient information to make an informed decision on which hardware and software is needed to implement a range of instrumentation and control systems.” Mike Button, Media Electronics World, March 2006 . “Mike Tooley’s book is a good practical introduction on how to use a computer to control and monitor external transducers and sensors
