This project concerns the design and implementation of a control and measurement sys-tem for an elevation over azimuth antenna on a Navy Jammer pedestal. The control sys-tem is run using LabVIEW from the parallel port of a PC, through the interfaced drive electronics. The measurement system involves acquiring data signals from the synchros on the pedestal and capturing the resulting data in a GUI based interface with a North Atlantic Industries, 76CS1 PCI S/D data acquisition card. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their continued support throughout my undergraduate degree at the University of Cape Town. I would also like to thank my friend and colleague Arjun Radhakrishnan for his support throughout this project period. Finally, I would like to thank Professor Inggs from the University of Cape Town for having faith in me to embark on this project. His supervision and guidance throughout this project were invaluable to me.
