A multichannel data acquisition (DAQ) system is a complete signal chain subsystem interfaced to multiple inputs (typically sensors) with the main function of converting the analog signal at the inputs into digital data that a processing unit can comprehend.
What is DAQ? Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon, such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, or sound.
A DAQ system consists of sensors, DAQ measurement hardware, and a computer with programmable software such as LabVIEW.
A data acquisition system is a system that includes measurement devices, sensors, a computer, and data acquisition software.
A data acquisition system is used for acquiring, storing, visualizing, and processing data.
This involves collecting the information required to understand electrical or physical phenomena.
