DAQ DICTIONARY – A
In this new series, we’re going to go through the alphabet of data acquisition and try to closely explain the terms used in the field. The articles with new terms will be published twice a week, so make sure you don’t miss any of them if you want to learn the “language” of data acquisition. First things […]
DATA LOGGER OR DATA ACQUISITION?
Which one is right, data logger or data acquisition? We’ve been tossing around these two terms a lot; yet, some people still struggle to distinguish their meaning. Let’s say you want to measure temperature levels, record, and analyze them, which one is the correct answer? Long story short, both are. The distinctions between these two […]
TABLETS FOR DATA ACQUISITION?
In the drive to lighter and smaller data acquisition frameworks, tablet PCs bring an incredible interest. Desktop PCs gave engineers the ability to make custom test and estimation applications. PCs build the capacity to make littler and more compact DAQ frameworks. Are tablet PCs the characteristic advancement of this pattern? While infiltration of tablets still slacks that […]
INTERNET OF EVERYTHING
A large part of the Internet of Things are wireless transceivers combined with sensors, which can exist in almost anything physical – devices, machinery, infrastructure, even clothes. Normally, saying “wireless transceiver combined with sensors” every time would be at least awkward, so such a bulge of the IoT is called a mote. Every mote must […]
WHEN THE DATA GETS LOST…
There are thousands of possible situations where data can get lost. Either someone forgot to move the data from the test machine to the final data store or the spreadsheet we were analyzing closed without saving any changes. And of course, if the data gets lost, we have to get back at some point in time and do the […]
AVIATION AND IOT
In 2013, air traffic got to the number of 3 billion passengers around the world since 1970, which is a huge milestone. It’s the safest, fastest and often the cheapest mean of transportation, so it is expected that these numbers will only rise. The part we’re especially interested in is the implementation of IoT into […]
WIRELESS DATA ACQUISITION
The common question that could be asked is: What about minimal effort wireless data acquisition systems (daq)? Would we be able to amplify the same minimal effort attitude clarified above into building modest ease remote information obtaining frameworks? In a period when the term Internet of Things (IoT) is on the cutting edge of everybody’s psyches, it […]
READYDAQ: THE EFFICIENT SOLUTION

With the upcoming technological advances, it is our greatest priority to simplify the execution of the technology and make it accessible to all. ReadyDAQ is one such software that is available in a standalone executable version as well. Built […]
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DATA LOGGERS
Some data loggers often end up in hostile environments, and investing in a new one every now and then is probably not something you desire. We have prepared a set of tips to help you protect your data loggers from birds, to be more precise, we’re talking about weather stations. Sensors with deterrentsThis is the best possible option for […]
DATA ACQUISITION IN AGRICULTURE
What industry employs the third of World’s population, and we couldn’t live without it? If your guess was agriculture, you were absolutely right. The expansion of the land use has stopped over the last few decades after a tremendous increase in the last two centuries, however, the population is constantly growing thus the market needs […]
