 TELEMETRY
transmission of data for monitoring and control over
long distances.
For longer distances, telemetry convert DC voltage or
current to audio tones and send them over wire. This is
called modulation, and the reverse (i.e. converting the
varying signal to data) is called demodulation. A device
to perform it is called a modem.
 Examples:
 telephone system,
 modern radio and TV broadcasting,
 Semiconductor/electronic industries,
 control system (remote)
Data Acquisition
 The process of getting data.
 Ways to measure and record signals
obtained from: -
 signals originating from direct measurement of
electrical quantities, these may include dc and ac
voltages, frequency or resistance and are typical
found in such areas as electronic component
testing, environmental studies and quality analysis
work.
 Signals originating from transducers such as strain
gauge and thermocouple.

TYPES OF DATA ACQUISITION
a) ANALOG DATA ACQUISITION

 Transducers – translating physical parameters into electrical

signals.
 Signal conditioners – amplifying, modifying, or selecting certain
portions of these signals.
 Visual display devices – continuous monitoring of the input
signals. These devices may include single-channel or multi-
channel oscilloscope, storage oscilloscope, panel meters,
numerical display and others.
 Graphic recording instruments – obtaining permanent records of
the input data. These instruments include stylus and ink recorders
to provide continuous records on paper chart, optical recording
systems such as mirror galvanometer recorders and ultraviolet
recorders.
 Magnetic tape instrumentation – acquiring input data, preserving
their original electrical form, and reproducing them at a later date
for more detailed analysis.
 b) DIGITAL DATA ACQUISITION
a digital system include:-
- handling analog signals,
- making the measurement,
- converting and handling digital data and internal - programming and control.
 
 Transducer –
 translate physical parameters to electrical signals acceptable by the acquisition

system. Some typical parameters include temperature, pressure, acceleration,

weight displacement, and velocity frequency, also may be measured directly.
 Signal conditioner –

 generally includes the supporting circuitry for the transducer. This circuitry may

provide excitation power, balancing circuits, and calibration elements. An

example of signal conditioner is a strain- gauge bridge balance and power
supply unit.
 Scanner or multiplexer –

 accept multiple analog inputs and sequentially connects them to one measuring

instrument.
 Signal converter –

 translates the analog signal to a form acceptable by the analog-to-digital

converter. An example of signal converter is an amplifier for amplifying low-

level voltages generated by thermocouples or strain gages.
 Analog –to-digital (A/D) converter –

 Converts the analog voltage to its equivalent digital form. The output of the

A/D converter may be displayed visually and also available as voltage outputs in
discrete steps for further processing or recording on a digital recorder.
 Auxiliary (back up) equipment –

 This section contains instruments for system programming functions and digital

data processing..
 Digital recorder –
 Records digital information on punched cards, perforated paper tape, magnetic

tape, typewritten pages, or a combination of systems.
