IBM PC-based multipurpose data-acquisition system for thermal analysis

A multipurpose data-acquisition system based on IBM PC or compatible computers has been developed for analog thermoanalytical equipment (especially for the Mettler TA 1 and TA 2 and Derivatographs). The system is versatile, easily tailored to specific requirements, and permits multitask operation, i. e. the collection of data from current experiments and the evaluation of results from previous experiments simultaneously.
