Virtually everything you use or consume has undergone some type of automated process in its production. With the activities in Process Control, you can build your own A/D converter, light sensor, tachometer, and incubator control systems to learn these principles hands-on.
Throughout the activities, the powerful StampPlot Pro graphical software interfaces provide monitoring, interactive control, and logging to help you analyze your data. A PC and Board of Education Full Kit (#28103) are required to use this product. The necessary StampPlot Pro, Macros, and BS2 source code can be downloaded.
