Instrumentation for gathering data [DAQ systems]

The main characteristic of the intelligent distributed data acquisition system we describe in this article is that it supports intelligent functions and provides the desired accuracy of measurement. It is also reliable and adaptable, utilising two NN-based methods of sensor drift prediction, which allows it to increase its inter-testing interval, and provides accuracy of sensor data processing. The system is designed on a distributed intelligence scheme, which operates in real time for most industrial sensors.
