A Data Acquisition System for Airborne Meteorological Research
T. Michael Duncan, Robert C. Brown · Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society · 1978
A new data acquisition system designed for use in meteorological research on small aircraft is described. Compact in size, weight, and power, the system uses a 16-bit microcomputer and 57 000 bytes of memory and provides improved real-time computations, flexibility, and ease of operation and maintenance for machines of this class. Modular hardware and extensive use of a high-level language make adapting the system to other aircraft or nonaircraft environments straight-forward.
