Everything you ever wanted to know about
DAQ
White paper on analogue inputs is the first in a three-part series telling all about data acquisition.
United Electronic Industries (UEI) has published the first in a three-part series of white papers called "Everything you ever wanted to know about data acquisition" Although the primary focus of this first white paper in the series is analogue inputs, the paper explains the overall concept of data acquisition (or DAQ) in general, and takes the time to demystify the use of the term as an industry buzzword, before delving into the more technical aspects of, and considerations for, analogue input systems
