About Data Acquisition Computer Boards

Data acquisition computer boards are self-contained printed circuit boards (PCBs) that plug into backplanes and motherboards, or interface directly with computer buses. They receive multiple electrical or electronic inputs from devices such as sensors and translate analog data into a digital format that computers can process. Data acquisition computer boards are an integral part of data acquisition systems for monitoring, analyzing, and/or controlling systems and processes. These devices include random access memory (RAM) and can include software that supports real time graphing, mathematical functions such as averaging, and statistical calculations such as deviation. 


Products & Services Related to Data Acquisition Computer Boards

Charge Amplifiers and Charge Converters
Charge converters and charge amplifiers convert the charge output from a piezoelectric, capacitive or other charge-producing sensor to a signal such as analog voltage or current.
Digital-to-Analog Converters
Digital-to-analog converters (DAC) transform a digital number into a corresponding analog voltage or current.
Encoder and Resolver Signal Conditioners
Encoder and resolver signal conditioners accept encoder and resolver measurements and convert or condition these signals into digital data or suitable levels. 
Frequency-to-Voltage Converters
Frequency-to-voltage converters accept a signal and convert its frequency to a corresponding analog voltage level.
Signal Filters
Signal filters block or decrease (attenuate) unwanted frequencies or signal wave characteristics.
Temperature Signal Conditioners
Temperature signal conditioners accept outputs from temperature measurement devices such as resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, and thermistors. They then filter, amplify, and/or convert these outputs to digital signals, or to levels suitable for digitization.
Voltage-to-Frequency Converters
Voltage-to-frequency converters accept a voltage signal and convert its analog level to a signal with a corresponding frequency.
