DATA ACQUISITION
Data acquisition can be a complex proposition. Many items need to be considered:
- sensor types and signals
- signal conditioning
- isolation
- noise
- single-ended or differential signals
- gain
- resolution (A/D bits)
- sampling rate
- data logger/serial or parallel box/PC expansion card
- PC bus type
- data acquisition software
- data analysis software
If you need a system designed and set up, need recommendations on a board or software, or if you just have one question, see Gerald Frank. He is experienced in data acquisition and has specified and set-up systems using National Instruments hardware and LabView software and also MacLab equipment.
