Data acquisition system for wind speed, direction and temperature measurements

الملخص EN

This paper describes the use of microcomputer as a laboratory instrument system.

The system is focused on three weather variables measurement, are temperature, wind speed, and wind direction.

This instrument is a type of data acquisition system; in this paper we deal with the design and implementation of data acquisition system based on personal computer (Pentium) using Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus.

The design of this system involves mainly a hardware implementation, and the software programs that are used for testing, measuring and control.

The system can be used to display the required information that can be transferred and processed from the external field to the system.

A visual basic language with Microsoft foundation classes (MFC) is the fundamental tool for windows programming.

It has been used to build a Man-Machine Interface (MMI), which was used for processing and monitoring acquisition data from environment weather.
