Abstract
A data acquisition system to control the position of a velocity probe, and to acquire digital voltages as an indication of fluid velocity is presented. This system replaces a similar manually operated traverse system, it relieves the operator of control and acquisition tasks, while providing a more consistent and systematic approach to the acquisition process. The design includes the TRS-80 microcomputer, with external interfacing accomplished using the STD-based bus design.
