Abstract

BOSS is a data handling system for civil engineering laboratories written in BASIC for the Hewlett-Packard HP86B micro-computer linked via the IEEE-488 interface to the Autonomous Data acquisition Unit (ADU) from ELE Ltd. The ADU is a micro-processor controlled data logger which, in addition to providing power supplies for transducers and signal conditioning, can log several tests simultaneously and store the test data in its memory. When the appropriate commands have been received from the micro-computer the ADU logs the tests independently of the computer. BOSS has been developed, initially for soil mechanics laboratories, to integrate the ADU into a versatile testing system which is user friendly and can perform all functions from test through to report. The paper discusses both the hardware and software of the BOSS system.
