Measure: A Remote Measurement System

The MEASURE sample program is located in the ..\Examples\Measure folder. MEASURE runs a remote measurement system that collects analog and digital data like a data acquisition systems found in a weather stations and process control applications. MEASURE is composed of three source files: GETLINE.C, MCOMMAND.C, and MEASURE.C. In addition, most targets require additional CPU specific startup or configuration files.

MEASURE records data from digital port inputs and A/D analog inputs. A timer controls the sample rate. The sample interval can be configured from 1 millisecond to 60 minutes. Each measurement saves the current time and all of the input channels to a RAM buffer.

This section uses the ARM version of the MEASURE application, but the operation is almost identical for all other toolsets.
