📊 What are Data Acquisition Boards (DAQ)? Accurate signal capture for test and measurement systems

Data acquisition boards, known as DAQ (Data Acquisition), are fundamental devices in test and measurement automation. They allow the conversion of physical signals – such as temperature, pressure, current, voltage, or vibration – into digital data that can be processed, analyzed, and stored by software. These boards are widely used

What is Measurement?

Measurement is the technical process of quantifying a physical, chemical, or logical quantity by comparing it with a known standard. It is the basis for validating products, processes, and systems — ensuring quality, safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance in industrial, laboratory, and clinical environments. In practice, there is no reliable
