DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

 

A data acquisition system is a complex system that consists of all the required subsystems for collection, conditioning, conversion, processing, display, storage and transmission of data.

To obtain the best characteristics of the system in terms of performance handling capacity and economy, the subsystems of a data acquisition system can be clubbed together. Usually analog information [data] is converted into digital form for processing, display, storage and transmission.

The processing of data may involve different operations. They can be simple or complex mathematical manipulations. The data collected from various points is to be transformed into a useful format. It will be necessary that the data is to be transmitted. The transmission may be from one collection point to the other or may be from the collection point to a computer.


General Data Acquisition System:

A block diagrammatic representation of data acquisition system in general is shown in Figure. 6.30

It can be observed from the block diagram that the outputs of the different transducers are supplied to the signal conditioners. In the process of signal conditioning the outputs of the transducers may be amplified, attenuated, linearized as per requirement.

The outputs originated from the signal conditioners are given to the inputs of a multiplexer. From the output of the multiplexer the analog data can be supplied to recorders meters for indication or for a display device for display.

Multiplexers output will be converted into digital format. This digital signal will be used with printer, digital display, magnetic recorder [tape recorder] for printing a hard copy, monitoring and recording respectively. The output of the A/D converter can be supplied to a computer and can also be transmitted.
