Measurement Devices

With one of the devices available in the lab, measure some variable of interest to you (force, EMG, acceleration, ...) and import the data into a spreadsheet. Perform some kind of calculation by hand or in a spreadsheet (average, standard deviation, minimum value, maximum value, median, ...). Save these data for a future project. Do not use the automated calculations in the data collection program you use.

Have the spreadsheet file ready to show during the next class period.

Importing Data

Using a text file form a measurement device, import the data into a Visual Basic program. Display the data in a rich text box.

Have the program ready to show during the next class period.

Displaying Data Graphically

Using the program you created for importing data, create a picture box and display the data as a data versus time graph.

Have the program ready to show during the next class period.

Calculations

Take the program you have been creating and write a subroutine to perform the same calculation you did in the measurement devices project. Have your program display the result in a text box.

Have the program ready to show during the next class period.
