Abstract
A microcomputer data-acquisition interface for a mosquito acoustic actograph system is described. The actograph has 32 activity chambers, each with its own microphone and circuit board. Each recording chamber is connected to an Apple IIe microcomputer with peripheral units. The computer simultaneously monitors the flight activity of all the mosquitoes in the 32 chambers and determines an activity score, total number of flights, and the total flying time for each mosquito in each 30-min period of a day, Data collection is facilitated by a multifunction program that allows the activity of all 32 mosquitoes to be monitored throughout an experiment. The user may look back at any 30-min period recorded on the data disk file. At the conclusion of an experiment, the computer prints a log report of group averages, activity scores, number of flights, and flying time.
