Understanding Data Acquisition - Data That Matters - B&B Electronics - #8

Understanding DAQ - 8/8 cause data corruption and permanent loss of Mission Critical Information. In turn, this loss renders your DAQ system useless. Here is a summary of each component within a DAQ system and the critical function it plays:
1. Transducers - Registers physical phenomena and converts it into analog (typical) or digital signal
2. Signal & Transmission - Contains data about the physical phenomena you are recording and securely transmits it along the data path with minimal interference or data corruption
3. Signal Conditioners - Stabilizes and normalizes signal while retaining data integrity
Like the errors perpetuated by the definition of astronomy in the 13 th 4. Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) & DAQ Hardware - Converts analog signal to digital data while retaining data integrity and serves as an interface between your industrial environment and computer systems
Century, DAQ Systems falsely suggest that the primary objective is simply obtaining data. In reality, the only objective should be to secure Mission Critical Information. 5. Software Drivers & Applications - Interfaces between DAQ hardware and your application, which ultimately converts data into mission critical information
