International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The objective of any data acquisition system is to make accurate measurements of physical
phenomena. Many of the phenomena to be characterized contain data that is in the audio-frequency
range between 0 and 50,000 Hertz. Examples include structural vibration, wind-tunnel
measurements, turbine engines and acoustics in air and water. These tests often require a large
number of channels and may be very expensive. In some cases, there may be only one opportunity
to acquire the data.
This paper describes a testing/measurement philosophy and the use of advances in available
hardware/software systems to implement the requirements. Primary emphasis is on robustness
(assurance that critical data is properly recorded), measurement/characterization of unexpected
results (generated by accidents or unexpected behavior), and test safety (for both the test article and
the facility).
Finally, a data acquisition system that encompasses the features discussed is described.
