In this work, we introduce the approach on the development of a stand-alone laptop based data
acquisition of an array sensor system, namely Nutra-BioStrip coupled with pattern recognition
algorithm for herbal quality assessment. The array sensor system control program, developed in
Lab View 6. 1 programming languages allow data acquired from the array sensor to be analyzed by
means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and displayed in the form of an interactive twodimensional cluster mapping with detail statistical analysis results for rapid and real-time herbal
quality assessment.
