Abstract

This article is based on the work carried out by the authors as part of the project "Digitization of Physics Experiments with the help of data logger". A computer based measurement requires the conversion of real world analog signal to digital format and transfer of digitized data into the computer. The objective of this project is to interface a physics experiment to the computer thereby increasing the efficiency an accuracy of the experiment. The experiment selected was the "Analysis of Elemental Spectra using Constant Deviation Spectrograph". The experimental setup was modified ad made suitable to the computer for automatic data acquisition and analysis.
