Tomáš Žák – Jan Parma

   Changes in hardware and software used for data acquisition from the EG&G vibrating sample magnetometer are reviewed. At the last upgrade, besides a new control computer also an Agilent USB/GPIB interface and the Keithley KPCI-3104 multifunction board with DA/AD converters were introduced. These changes were accompanied by developing of new control software in the form of a Windows 32-bit application controlling all basic functions of the magnetometer, data transfer, and output of measurement results.
