Measure: A Remote Measurement System

The sample program MEASURE is located in the folder ..\Examples\Measure. MEASURE runs a remote measurement system that collects analog and digital data, similar to data acquisition systems as found in weather stations and process control applications.

MEASURE records data from digital port inputs and A/D analog inputs. A timer controls the sample rate. Each measurement saves the current time and the inputs to a RAM buffer.

This example uses the ARM version of the MEASURE application, but the operations are almost identical for all other toolsets.
