17.2.2. Data Acquisition System (DAQ)

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does a Data Acquisition System primarily do?

   Hint

   Think about what systems do in monitoring.

2. 2.

   What is the role of synchronization in DAQs?

   Hint

   How would you keep multiple clocks in sync?

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of a Data Acquisition System?

   • Data storage
   • Data processing
   • Data collection and processing

   Hint

   Think about what a monitoring system needs to do.

4. 4.

   True or False: DAQs only store data locally.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider where data might go after being collected.

5. 5.

   Develop a strategy for a DAQ setup in a high-rise building. What considerations would you need regarding signal integrity and data transmission?

   Hint

   Think about how different floors might impact signal strength.

6. 6.

   Analyze the potential impacts of latency in data synchronization among multiple sensors in a monitoring system.

   Hint

   Consider a scenario where sensors send updates at different times.
