Hi there,
This can be performed in several ways depending on your budget and specifications.
But first why are you intending to do it using pc?
1) you can send the info using any port of the pc, then you need to write a program that can interpret the data (not recommended unless you are good both in electronics and software)
2)use already available data aquisition boards with programs which makes your life easiesr.
Labview is a recomended choice since it is easy, rich graphical interface and software is written graphically and not code.
For sure you will find other options as well.
3)It can also be prformed using microcontroller.
The options are plenty. It depends on your criteria.
regards
