ABSTRACT

We are doing a project for a company PROCSYS (Processor

Systems India Pvt. Ltd.). ProcSys today is a leading design and engineering services
company in India, offering both complete and componentized solutions in embedded
systems, product realization and application software. The main project we have selected
is developing a DATA ACQUISITION MODULE. Project team consists of 13 members –
5 people for the hardware design and 8 people for developing compatible software. The
software group is further divided into two, for developing stack and driver software for
the data acquisition module.

AIM
To design and develop a PC based Data Acquisition system in
which a data is acquired and converted to digital value using ADC and serially
communicated to PC from a microcontroller for displaying.
