Textbook: Bishop, Robert H., LabVIEW 8
Student
Edition, Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2007. Note: This
text
comes with LabVIEW 8.2.1 Student Edition. Make certain the text
contains
the accompanying CD prior to purchase.
Grading: Course grades will be determined by evaluation
of the homework assignments (50%), the final project (20%), and
in-class
quizzes (30%).
Project Description: Each student in the class will
create
a fully functional EMG/EKG data collection system. The student
will
design, build, and debug the circuitry, build a suitable container,
interface
the circuit to the computer, and write the software to read and analyze
the data.
