Description
Data Acquisition is a process of collecting information that collects data in digital format from the real world through various sensors, devices, or equipment. This process is widely used in science, engineering, medicine, and industry. Various types of information, such as temperature, pressure, voltage, signal, sound, image, etc., can be collected through data acquisition. In modern technology, data is collected, processed, and stored in real-time using microcontrollers or data acquisition systems.
This data plays an important role in further analysis, control systems or research. The main components of the data acquisition system are sensors, signal conditioners, data converters, and microprocessors. Better quality decision-making and effective system design are possible through accurate and precise data collection. Therefore, data acquisition is considered an essential step in any technical or scientific work.
