Data Acquisition System Development with MATLAB
Acquire data from sensors and analyze your results
A data acquisition system is a collection of software and hardware that lets you measure or control physical characteristics of something in the real world. A typical data acquisition system consists of:
- Data acquisition (DAQ) hardware
- Sensors and actuators
- Signal conditioning hardware
- A computer running data acquisition software
You can build a data acquisition system using popular DAQ hardware using MATLAB and Data Acquisition Toolbox.You can analyze data as you collect it and acquire data from a wide variety of supported DAQ hardware.
Examples and How To
- Getting Started Acquiring Voltage Data (Example)
- Acquiring Temperature Data from a Thermocouple (Example)
- Counting Pulses on a Digital Signal (Example)
- Acquiring Data from IEPE Accelerometers (Example)
- Acquiring Data from a Sound Card (Example)
- Accessing Analog Output Channels of DAQ Hardware (Example)
