DAQ (Data Acquisition)

Data Acquisition (DAQ) is the process of collecting information from physical sensors or instruments, converting it into a digital format that computers can analyze. It involves using hardware devices that measure variables such as temperature, pressure, or voltage, and then transmit this data for processing, monitoring, or recording. DAQ systems are essential in many fields like manufacturing, research, and automation, enabling precise tracking of environmental conditions or system performance to inform decision-making, ensure safety, or optimize operations efficiently.
