Network Based Data Acquisition and Logging System using PIC Microcontroller

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of a multi-channel data acquisition and logging system which can be used in a variety of applications. The designed data acquisition and logging system uses analog multiplexer, a bipolar analog to digital converter, a voltage reference and an SD card. The device is developed around PIC Microcontroller. The most important feature of the device which makes it different from other data acquisition devices is the presence of the Ethernet port. This feature enables it to work in networked environment. The performance of the device is tested and crosschecked. The present data acquisition and logging system is expected to be very useful to varieties of our own developmental projects, given its ability to locally store data and availability of general purpose digital I/O.
