What Is Covered Under Data Acquisition (DAQ) System Market?

The data acquisition (DAQ) system refers to a system that can measure and record physical or electrical properties to understand the system’s performance. DAQ systems are computer-based measurement systems that help in measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon such as current, voltage, pressure, temperature, or sound. These systems capture and store data from an actual system for further scientific and engineering review. The main types of data acquisition (DAQ) systems are peripheral component interconnect (PCI), LAN extensions for instrumentation (LXI)/ ethernet, VME extensions for instrumentation (VXI), PCI extensions for instrumentation (PXI), universal serial bus (USB), and standalone. The main components include hardware and software. They offer high-speed (>100 ks/s) and low speed (<100 ks/s). The various applications include research and analysis, manufacturing and quality, asset condition monitoring, and design validation and repair that are used by aerospace and defense, energy and power, automotive and transportation, wireless communication and infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment, healthcare, and food and beverages.

Global Data Acquisition (DAQ) System Market Trends and Insights

Major companies are operating in the data acquisition (DAQ) system market, focusing on developing innovations such as modular click-together platforms for flexible, high-channel-count measurement and real-time data logging. A modular DAQ platform uses a base unit with interchangeable amplifier or sensor-interface modules, allowing users to mix and match inputs such as voltage, current, temperature, strain, or vibration sensors in one system, and supports synchronized, high-speed data capture across distributed locations, offering greater flexibility and scalability compared to traditional fixed-channel or monolithic DAQ systems. For instance, in June 2023, imc Test & Measurement GmbH, a Germany-based test & measurement solutions company, launched the imc ARGUSfit, a modular DAQ system designed for automotive, aerospace, and industrial testing. The system features click-together modules, supports up to 1000 channels, has sampling rates up to 500 kS/s per channel, has a fiber-optic distributed module connection, and has embedded real-time processing for stand-alone data logging, enabling sensor-near placement, reduced cabling, and flexible deployment in complex testing environments.
