Data Acquisition
Data Acquisition:
Sensor: First acquisition device (a sensor/transducer) to sense
the (usually) physical quantity to be acquired
Buffer Amplifier: Isolates the output from the input (i.e., it draws
negligible current and power from the input) and provides a
signal in a range close to but not exceeding the full input voltage
range of the A/D converter.
Filter: Usually a low-pass filter is necessary to remove any
undesirable high- frequency components in the signal that could
produce aliasing. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter
should be no greater than the sampling rate.
ADC: Analog signal to digital version for processing with a digital
hardware/system.
Computer: For control (as central processing unit), and processing
of the acquired data.

Example 6-1
A 500mA level is to be converted into a 7-bit digital code. Determine the
resolution of the conversion and the analog levels represented by the LSB &
MSB, & calculate the analog level represented by 1111111.

Example 6.5:
A linear-ramp ADC uses a 10-bit counter and a 15KHz clock
frequency. The counter output is to be 1111111111 when the
input voltage is 100mV. Calculate the required ramp rate-ofchange and the ADC conversion time.

Example 6-1:
Calculate the maximum time t1 for the digital voltmeter (ramp-type), if the clock
generator frequency is 1.5 MHz. Also, suggest a suitable frequency for the
ramp generator. Where maximum counted pulses: N = 1999
