Prc Automatic Data Acquisition System for Laboratory

Data acquisition is the process of measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon such as load, pressure, torque, voltage, current, temperature, pressure, or sound with a computer. A Data acquisition system consists of sensors, measurement hardware, and a computer with programmable software. Compared to traditional measurement systems, PC-based Data acquisition systems exploit the processing power, productivity, display, and connectivity capabilities of industry-standard computers providing a more powerful, flexible, and cost-effective measurement solution.
A Data Acquisition System is comprised of three parts; an I/O sub-system, a host computer and the controlling software. However, some systems, such as the Power DNA Cube running a standalone Linux application combine the I/O sub-system and the host CPU in the same package. These systems are often referred to as embedded DAQ systems.
