Data Acquisition#
DAQ modules for analog input/output, sensor measurement, and high-channel-count data collection in automated test systems.
What We Carry#
Our DAQ selection includes:
- USB DAQ Modules — Compact acquisition modules for bench integration
- Ethernet DAQ — Network-connected modules for distributed systems
- Modular DAQ — Chassis-based systems for high channel counts
- Specialty Modules — Thermocouple, strain gauge, and sensor-specific inputs
Selection Criteria#
When choosing DAQ hardware for your test system, consider:
| Factor | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Channels | Analog input, output, and digital I/O counts |
| Resolution | 12, 16, 24-bit ADC depending on accuracy needs |
| Sample Rate | Aggregate and per-channel rates |
| Input Range | Voltage ranges and sensor compatibility |
| Isolation | Channel-to-channel isolation requirements |
Common Use Cases#
DAQ hardware in test systems is used for:
- Analog measurement — Voltage, current (via shunt), temperature
- Sensor interfaces — Thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, load cells
- Waveform generation — Analog output for stimulus signals
- Digital I/O — Control signals, status monitoring, handshaking
Integration with Test Systems#
DAQ hardware we stock supports:
- Python drivers for automation
- Integration with our f3ts-hardware-utils library
- Standard interfaces (USB, Ethernet) for connectivity
