Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a general purpose data acquisition instrument?

  Most data acquisition instruments on the market are general purpose, meaning that they can be used for a wide variety of applications. These systems are analogous to a multimeter or oscilloscope in that sense.

• Where can I buy a digital data acquisition system?

  Check out Dewesoft's modern, digital data acquisition systems. DAQ Systems are offered in modular as well as an integrated approach. Data acquisition systems are sold by a variety of companies and are available with a broad range of capabilities and specifications, thus the prices can vary significantly.

• What is data logging in data acquisition?

  Data Loggers. Data Logging is the recording of collected data over a period of time. Depending on the application, the data can be temperature measurements, voltages, current, humidity, or other signals of interest. A Data Logger is a self-contained data acquisition system with a built-in processor and pre-defined software embedded in the unit.

• What are the key features of a data acquisition system?

  Furthermore, most data acquisition systems have some analytical and report generation capability built-in. A recent innovation is the combination of data acquisition and control, where a high-quality DAQ system is connected tightly and synchronized with a real-time control system.

• What is DAQ data acquisition?

  Data acquisition (commonly abbreviated as DAQ or DAS) is the process of sampling signals that measure real-world physical phenomena and converting them into a digital form that can be manipulated by a computer and software. Data Acquisition is generally accepted to be distinct from earlier forms of recording to tape recorders or paper charts.

• What is data acquisition and how does it work?

  Data acquisition (commonly abbreviated as DAQ or DAS) is the process of sampling signals that measure real-world physical phenomena and converting them into a digital form that can be manipulated by a computer and software. Data Acquisition is generally accepted to be distinct from earlier forms of recording to tape recorders or paper charts.
