What is a Data Acquisition Card?

Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of measuring events based on voltage, current, pressure, temperature, or sound. A DAQ system consists of high-speed data acquisition measurement hardware (DAQ cards or modules), input devices such as sensors, and a computer or processor.

Understanding the Role of FPGAs in Data Acquisition

What is an FPGA for Data Acquisition?

As the core of the data acquisition system, the FPGA collects and stores data. The system is divided into three modules: front-end signal processing module, FPGA data acquisition module, and data storage module.

FPGA Data Acquisition Module Design

The FPGA data acquisition module is designed using VHDL and simulated by ISE software.
