Mini-computer-based monitor systems are possible with reasonable effort and good success using commercially available components. A brief review of measurement principles is followed by a description of a system consisting of an 8-bit computer with 32 K random access memory, serial and parallel input/output ports, dual floppy disc program and data storage, printer, and a custom designed analog-to-digital conversion module. All equipment except wiring to the A/D section is readily available from commercial suppliers.
