Introduction:-
Data acquisition systems (DAQ) are devices that are used to acquire data from the
environment surrounding it. Acquiring data helps to get certain information about the
environment under consideration. Typically, data acquisition devices interface to
various sensors that specify the phenomenon under consideration. Most data
acquisition systems obtain data from different kinds of transducers that produce
analog signals. In most applications, these signals need some processing. Therefore,
analog signals are converted into a digital form via analog to digital converter (ADC)
to be processed. Existing DAQs, can acquire single channel or multi-channel signals.
There are also open-source software packages providing all the necessary tools to
acquire data from different hardware equipment. These tools come from the scientific
community where complex experiment requires fast, flexible and adaptable software.
Those packages are usually custom fit but more general DAQ packages like
the Maximum Integrated Data Acquisition System can be easily tailored and is used in
several physics experiments worldwide.
