Microcomputer-based monitoring and data acquisition system for a mosquito flight mill

The combination of a microcomputer and a mosquito flight mill system, containing up to 16 flight mills, is described. The microcomputer provides CRT screen monitoring, log reports, and summary reports. Each log report contains the distance (meters) and duration (seconds) of each flight by each mosquito. Summary reports include group assignments, total number of flights, distance (meters), duration (seconds), initial speed (speed of the initial flight in meters per second) and average speed (meters per second). High-speed data processing by the microcomputer eliminates the inordinate number of hours previously required to process flight mill data.
