Data acquisition is the process of digitizing data from the world around us so it can be displayed, analyzed, and stored in a computer.

Data acquisition systems can be classified into the following two types.

• Analog Data Acquisition Systems.

• Digital Data Acquisition Systems.

What is the data acquisition method?

There are four methods of acquiring data: collecting new data; converting/transforming legacy data; sharing/exchanging data; and purchasing data. This includes the automated collection (e.g., of sensor-derived data), the manual recording of empirical observations, and obtaining existing data from other sources.

What is data acquisition in IOT?

Data Acquisition is the process of measuring and analyzing various electrical and physical entities like the voltage, current, temperature, pressure, etc. A DAQ system consists of sensors, signal conditioning circuitry, analog to digital converter, and application software.

Pinkertons Consulting LLC can facilitate the implementation of a DAQ system for your project. We like to use CAS Dataloggers as they have a broad range of products for many different applications.

Typical Areas of Application:

• Traffic census reporting

• Solar panel data loggers

• Temperature monitoring

• Meteorological data collection

• High-speed data loggers

If your need real-time data collected, it starts by selecting the dataloggers for the appropriate application. Pinkertons Consulting LLC can help in the selection process.
