Data Acquisition System
Data acquisition is the process of sampling
signals that measure real world physical
conditions and converting into digital values that
can be processed by a computer
Data acquisition system is used to acquire the
real world physical data and convert into digital
data that can be processed by a computer
It is abbreviated as DAS or DAQ
Types of DAS
There are two types of data acquisition systems
1. Single Channel DAS
2. Multichannel DAS

Single Channel DAS
The single channel data acquisition system has
only one input signal
It consists of a transducer, signal conditioner, an
analog to digital converter and a buffer circuitry
Sensors, to convert physical parameters to
electrical signals
Signal conditioning circuitry, to convert sensor
signals into a form that can be converted to
digital values
Analog-to-digital converters, to convert
conditioned sensor signals to digital values
Date: 02/11/2020 A.Y. 2020-21
Multichannel DAS
There are multiple input signals
The output of transducers is processed with
signal conditioning circuits
A multiplexer is used to select the processed
input signal
It is then converted in to digital signal with the
help of ADC

Data Logger
The term ‘Data Logging' refers to collecting or
gathering data over a period of time
A data logger is a device that can be used to
collect, store and retrieve the data
In general, data logger is a comprehensive and
highly advanced DAS
• Basic parts of data logger are:
Input scanner
Signal conditioner
A/D converter
Recording equipment
Programmer

Advantages of Data Logger
1. Data logger can accommodate from 10 to
1000 analog signals, depending on its
capacity
2. It can be used in remote or dangerous
situations
3. Data logging can be carried out 24 hours a
day, 365 days of the year
4. Time intervals for collecting data can be very
frequent and regular, for example, hundreds
of measurements per second
5. No need to have a person present
6. Data logging is often more accurate because
there is no human error
