Ethernet Data Acquisition (DAQ)

Ethernet data acquisition hardware is a type of data acquisition hardware that uses Ethernet connections to condition signal data and otherwise transmit data in a laboratory environment or in other situations where hardware systems are acquiring information from outside signals.

Typically, scientific setups use transducers, sensors and other equipment to take in analog data and process it in digital form. Ethernet data acquisition tools act as a bridge between computers and external signals, often sending data to wireless routers or other hardware nodes that can conduct that information in a wireless way.
