Course objectives
The subject goes in for application of computer technology in physics teaching. It introduces into area of instrument connecting to the interfaces of personal computer and instrument controlling from the environment of programming language Pascal. It acquaints also with commercial school and professional measuring systems and available hardware of personal computer. Basic knowledge of work with PC is only expected. Welcomed is knowledge of a programming language.
