Data Acquisition is Everywhere

While each Data Acquisition (DAQ) system has unique functionality to serve application-specific requirements, all systems share common components that include signals, sensors, signal conditioning, DAQ, computer with software. From Physical Phenomenon to Electrical Signal. From Signal Conditioning to Data Acquisition Hardware. From Driver Software to Application Software, this tutorial helps define your Virtual Instruments, PC-Based, Data Acquisition solution
