This document discusses data acquisition systems for process measurement applications. It begins by explaining the basic architecture of a data acquisition system, including sensors, transducers, signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, and software for post-processing. It then focuses on the National Instruments DAQ hardware and LabVIEW software platform, highlighting features such as plug-and-play connectivity, built-in signal conditioning modules, and high-speed data streaming. The document aims to help readers understand data acquisition system design and apply techniques for signal conditioning, analog and digital data acquisition, and utilizing NI hardware configuration features for data acquisition applications.
