Abstract :
A personal computer compatible optical data acquisition unit is designed and built. The unit hardware architecture consists of an optical analog sensors, optical digital sensors, and standard digital-to-analog converters. It can be accessed and programmed using high level language such as C or a low level language such as assembly. The unit has several useful applications such as color sorting, data communication, aerospace guidance and remote optical sensing
