Most experimental fields of science and engineering require the use of data acquisition systems (DAQ), devices in charge of sampling and converting electrical signals into digital data and, typically, performing all of the required signal preconditioning. Since commercial DAQ systems are normally focused on specific types of sensors and actuators, systems engineers may need to employ mutually-i...

Diagnostics at ASDEX Upgrade have available a very large number of highly developed measuring channels. The prospect of making this wealth of information usable for plasma optimization led to the implementation of a number of diagnostics running data acquisition in real-time (RT). Ultimately, this development aims to achieve a network of intelligent diagnostics delivering analysed data for high...

A depressogenic attributional style, i.e., internal, stable and global causal interpretations of negative events, is a stable vulnerability factor for depression. Current measures of pessimistic attributional style can be time-consuming to complete, and some are designed for specific use with student populations. We developed and validated a new short questionnaire suitable for the measurement ...

Three Generations of FPGA DAQ Development for the ATLAS Pixel Detector

BACKGROUND  The Displaced Aggression Questionnaire (DAQ) is an instrument that assesses personality differences in the tendency to displace aggression. This scale is composed of three factors: angry rumination (as affective dimension), revenge planning (as cognitive dimension), and general tendency to engage in displaced aggression (as a behavioral dimension). The present study examined th...

For the results presented in my thesis the I-V data was recorded by hand based on measurements taken using hand-held DMMs. This method was slow and made it tedious to record more than a handful of data points. To improve upon this, a software controlled measurement and recording method was developed using LabVIEW and a USB connected data acquisition card (DAQ). Within this method two techniques...

Data Acquisition (DAQ) is widely used in Research and Development, Quality Control, Testing. acquisition a process which raw transducer signals are converted to computer readable data so that computers can store manipulate data. Temperature control system mainly the measuring even achieve stable or desired value have big challenge importance all sector of industry. This article tries summarize ...

After successful achievement of the first plasma in 2008, Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) has performed the 4 campaign in 2011. During the campaigns, many diagnostic devices have been installed for measuring the various plasma properties in the KSTAR tokamak. From the first campaign, a data acquisition (DAQ) system of Millimeter-wave interferometer (MMWI) has been operat...

This thesis presents a wireless synchronization protocol, which is able to disseminate a pulse signal through a network with an accuracy in the sub-μs range. The protocol is based on Glossy, a flooding architecture for wireless networks, which allows a packet to be transmitted through the whole network in a highly reliable and fast manner. Various techniques are used to enhance Glossy’s implici...
