 Generalized Data Acquisition Systems
1. Transducer :
Transducer converts physical quantity into
electrical signal.
2. Signal Conditioning Equipment :
• Signal conditioning equipment consists of
amplifiers, filters.
• Signal conditioning equipment modifies the
transducer output into desired magnitude and
transforms to the desired form required to the
next stage.

3. Multiplexer :

• Multiplexing is the process of sharing channel with more

than one input.

• Thus multiplexer accepts multiple analog input’s and

connects sequentially to one measuring input.

4. A/D converter :
By using A/D converter Analog signals are
converted into Digital signals

5. Visual Display Devices :

They are required for continuous monitoring of input
signals. They are
• Digital Printer
• Digital Recorder
• Digital Computer
• Digital CRO
