Data Acquisition (DAQ) Hardware and software
What is DAQ System? •
DAQ systems capture, measure, and analyze physical phenomena from the real world.
•
Light, temperature and pressure are examples of the different types of signals that a DAQ system can measure.
•
Data acquisition is the process of collecting and measuring electrical signals and sending them to a computer for processing.
•
Electrical signals comes from Transducers.
What is DAQ System? The building blocks of a DAQ system includes: 1. Transducer: A device that converts a physical phenomenon such as light, temperature, pressure, or sound into a measurable electrical signal such as voltage or current. 2. Signal: The output of the transducer. 3. Signal conditioning: Hardware that you can connect to the DAQ device to make the signal suitable for measurement or to improve accuracy or reduce noise. 4.
DAQ hardware: Hardware you use to acquire, measure, and analyze data.
5. Software: NI application software is designed to help you easily design and program your measurement and control application (LABVIEW).
What is DAQ System? There are two methods of communicating the measured signal to the computer
Sensors (Transducer)
Why Signal Conditioning •
To measure signals from transducers, you must convert them into a form a measurement device can accept.
•
Common types of signal conditioning include amplification, linearization, transducer excitation, and isolation
.
What type of device to use? The trade-off usually falls between 1- Resolution (bits) & Code Width 2- Sampling rate (samples/second) 3- Number of channels, and data transfer rate (usually limited by “bus” type: USB, PCI, PXI, etc.).
Resolution • Precision of the analog to digital conversion process is dependent upon the number (n) of bits the ADC of the DAQ uses. • The higher the resolution, the higher the number of divisions the voltage range is broken into (2^n), and therefore, the smaller the detectable voltage changes.
Resolution • An 8 bit ADC gives 256 levels (2^8) compared to a 12 bit ADC that has 4096 levels (2^12). 16-Bit versus 3-Bit Resolution (5 kHz Sine Wave)

Code Width • Code width is the smallest change in a signal that a DAQ system can detect • Calculated using the formula Code width Where D is DAQ device input range and n is the resolution • Larger resolution implies smaller code width and more accurate representation of the signal
Code Width For example, a 12-bit DAQ device with a 0 to 10 V input range detects a 2.4 mV change, while the same device with a -10 to 10 V input range would detect a change of 4.8 mV.
Sampling Rate • The data is acquired by an ADC using a process called sampling. • Sampling an analog signal occurs at discrete time intervals. • The rate at which the signal is sampled is known as the sampling frequency.
Sampling Rate •
The sampling frequency determines the quality of the analog signal conversion process.
•
A Higher sampling frequency achieves better conversion of the analog signals.
•
The minimum sampling frequency required to represent the signal should be at least twice the maximum frequency of the analog signal under test (this is called the Nyquist rate).
•
If the sampling frequency is equal or less than twice the frequency of the input signal, a signal of lower frequency is generated from such a process (this is called aliasing).
Sampling Rate • For accurate frequency representation: – Sample at least 2x the highest frequency signal being measured.
• For accurate shape representation – Sample 5–10x the highest frequency signal being measured.
Sampling Rate
