Computerized Data Acquisition is being developed as a part of the laboratory for an upper-level course in Animal Physiology. The course consists of a lecture series based on the textbook Animal Physiology: Mechanisms and Adaptations by R. Eckert and D. Randall, and a laboratory. A series of experiments give students an opportunity to collect physiological data using a computerized system. Students use transducers interfaced with an IBM-XT microcomputer to monitor processes in an experiment through the Lab Linc system. Using the data handling software, Videograph, the students simultaneously store the data on a floppy disk. Undergraduates completing these experiments have a better understanding of concepts and of state-of-the-art methods in Animal Physiology, and thus are better prepared to do further work in this area. In addition to its utilization in course work, the equipment is being used extensively by both Health Science and Biology majors, all of whom are required to complete independent study projects.

计算机数据采集正在开发作为动物生理学高级课程实验室的一部分。 该课程包括基于 R. Eckert 和 D. Randall 的教科书《动物生理学：机制与适应》的系列讲座以及一个实验室。 一系列实验让学生有机会使用计算机系统收集生理数据。 学生使用与 IBM-XT 微型计算机连接的传感器通过 Lab Linc 系统监控实验过程。 使用数据处理软件Videograph，学生同时将数据存储在软盘上。 完成这些实验的本科生可以更好地理解动物生理学的概念和最先进的方法，从而为在该领域开展进一步的工作做好更好的准备。 除了在课程作业中使用外，该设备还被健康科学和生物学专业的学生广泛使用，所有这些学生都需要完成独立的研究项目。
