Data Acquisition & Instrumentation systems consist of hardware, signals and software, categorized as follows: sensors/actuators/transducers, analog & digital signals, signal conditioning components, data acquisition devices, and software.
Historically, Data Acquisition & Instrumentation was done with dedicated, standalone devices from manufacturers like HP/Agilent, Keithley, Tektronix, etc. The advance of mainstream computing architectures and the economies of scale in the PC industry have revolutionized modern DAQ and Instrumentation components and solutions.
Now, vendors like National Instruments dominate the market with plug-in DAQ boards and Modular Instruments that rely on virtual instrumentation software like LabVIEW for device configuration, display, archiving, and network communication.
Whether you need to extend your capital investment by leveraging a 19″ rack of legacy multi-vendor instruments or you have the requirement to start from scratch with modern COTS components, DSA can provide valuable guidance, integration & implementation services to design and deliver the Lowest Total Cost of Ownership in Data Acquisition & Instrumentation systems.
