We have discussed bandwidth and data rate a few times on the blog, but we find that it's an important topic to cover...
The US National Security Agency (NSA) collects surveillance data from satellites and by other means. The NSA supercomputers sort through billions of phone calls, faxes, emails, and radio transmissions; it has been estimated that five million emails are transmitted each minute and 35 million voice communications are completed each hour. Unfortunately, it takes some intelligence to cut through all the “chatter” – otherwise, you have inaccurate information and the results could be disastrous.
A similar situation exists in the data acquisition world. By definition, data acquisition systems are designed to gather and store data. However, this definition has led many managers and engineers to spend large amounts of money on systems that do just that - gather data - but are good for little else ...
Frank Lio, Support Manager for our Electromechanical Business, wrote a whitepaper on Bandwidth and Data Rate, and we have it here for you to download.
Topics included:
- The True Purpose of Data Acquisition
- Measurement Noise and Filters
- Bandwidth and Data Rate
- Bandwidth Effects on Accuracy, Repeatability and Reproducibility
What other topics would you find useful if covered in a whitepaper?
