“…A solution involving the combined use of both a personal computer and a module based on an ARM microcontroller is an alternative to the approaches considered [4][5][6]. In this case, the speed of response of the data acquisition and control system is determined by the capabilities of the ARM microcontroller, which solves these problems under hard real time conditions (here the a priori estimate of the necessary speed of response of the ARM microcontroller is considerably simpler, while the requirements imposed on the resources are much less than when using a personal computer for these purposes), while the personal computer performs interface functions dictated by ergonomic considerations.…”

A. E. Vasil'ev and I. V. Kolodeznikov UDC 004.3 Data acquisition and control systems as a combination of a personal computer and an ARM microcontroller with additional circuitry are considered. It is shown that the separation of the interface functions and the interaction functions with the object being controlled between separate modules guarantees that the system will operate in hard real time and makes it easy to use at low cost. A description of a practical system is presented.The construction of modern data acquisition and control systems is based on the use of computational techniques. The basis of such systems are platforms of general-purpose computer systems, i.e., personal computers (PC) or specialized systems.The use of a personal computer as the basis of a data acquisition and control system has an obvious advantage, namely, universality, which consists of the interchangeability of the computer components, in particular, when carrying out repairs or modernization, for example, to increase the disk memory, reduce the requirements regarding the qualifi cations of the operator to operate with them, the existence of typical ergonomic solutions for the user interfaces, etc. In view of the fact that in a general-purpose PC it is not possible to exchange physical signals with the object, the computer must be supplied with a special input-output circuit board, i.e., a matching device (MD). Suppliers of computer equipment have a large variety of such matching devices with different functional characteristics [1, 2].Despite the many versions of the technical solutions, they can be regarded as belonging to one of two predominant groups: matching devices having maximum simplicity or matching devices with the greatest autonomy. In the fi rst case, the device contains only components which transform a specifi ed signal parameter (amplitude, frequency or phase shift) into a numerical form and transmit these data for display on the personal computer. In the second case, the matching device has its own memory for storing the results of measurements and acquires data according to a specifi ed schedule, for example, periodically under the control of its own time-setting components.Solutions of the fi rst kind impose high requirements on the speed of response of the computer and the software (in particular, on the operational system) to ensure that the measurement system operates in hard real time, in other words, with a guarantee that each data processing and control cycle is carried out in a time interval not exceeding a previously specifi ed one. Solutions of the second kind are costly and insuffi ciently universal, since they have a limited number of adjustment versions, etc. Control of an object with a specifi ed arbitrary algorithm is only possible when using a matching device of the fi rst kind with the above specifi ed limitations.The list of specialized data acquisition and control platforms is extremely diverse because of the narrow specialization of such solutions. Their characteristic features may include ...

An appearance of radiometers and dosimeters on free sale made it possible to provide better radiation safety for citizens. The effects of radiation may not appear all at once. They can manifest themselves in decades to come in future generations, in the form of cancer, genetic mutations, etc. For this reason, we have developed in this paper a microcontroller-based radiation monitoring system. The system determines an accumulated radiation dose for a certain period, as well as gives alarm signals when the rate of the equivalent dose exceeds. The high reliability of this system is ensured by a rapid response to emergency situations: excess of the allowable power of the equivalent radiation dose and the accumulator charge control. Further, we have composed a microcontroller electronic circuit for the monitoring radiation system. Additionally, an operation algorithm, as well as software for the ATmega328P microcontroller of the Arduino Uno board, have been developed.

Due to the severe damages of nuclear accidents, there is still an urgent need to develop efficient radiation detection wireless sensor networks (RDWSNs) that precisely monitor irregular radioactivity. It should take actions that mitigate the severe costs of accidental radiation leakage, especially around nuclear sites that are the primary sources of electric power and many health and industrial applications. Recently, leveraging machine learning (ML) algorithms to RDWSNs is a promising solution due to its several pros, such as online learning and self-decision making. This paper addresses novel and efficient ML-based RDWSNs that utilize millimeter waves (mmWaves) to meet future network requirements. Specifically, we leverage an online learning multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithm called Thomson sampling (TS) to a 5G enabled RDWSN to efficiently forward the measured radiation levels of the distributed radiation sensors within the monitoring area. The utilized sensor nodes are lightweight smart radiation sensors that are mounted on mobile devices and measure radiation levels using software applications installed in these mobiles. Moreover, a battery aware TS (BA-TS) algorithm is proposed to efficiently forward the sensed radiation levels to the fusion decision center. BA-TS reflects the remaining battery of each mobile device to prolong the network lifetime. Simulation results ensure the proposed BA-TS algorithm's efficiency regards throughput and network lifetime over TS and exhaustive search method.
