An Optical Tomography System Based on the Universal Serial Bus

Abstract

In the past, most of the researches in tomography system concentrated more on the design of the sensor, and made use of the data acquisition system as the interface to the personal computer. This will increase the cost of the system. In this project, Universal Serial Bus was successfully implemented in an optical tomography system, providing a low cost, high–speed data acquisition system. The system, however, is an offline system. The system had successfully processed all the data in the lower level, using the micro controller before sending the data into the PC through the USB. Key words: Universal Serial Bus, optical tomography system, data acquisition system, tomogram
