I have started working on an expanded section on nuclear/particle physics DAQ at User:Sergio.ballestrero/Data acquisition. You are welcome to contribute to it. Sergio Ballestrero 22:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DAQ Suppliers List

An anonymous added a link, that is relevant, but commercial. There is actually a number of suppliers that might be useful to link, but this might be in violation of WP guidelines, so I am still wondering whether we should make a List of Data Acquisition suppliers. For the moment being, I'll paste that link here, and maybe I'll add more later. Sergio Ballestrero 06:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poor Information

The information in this article is rather confusing, not remotely clear. If you know about this topic please contribute with clear, meaningful English sentences.


[edit] Software Listed for use with DAQ

I use C, Python, and Visual Basic. I've never seen Fortran, Java, Lisp or Pascal used for DAQ systems, do they commonly have driver interfaces to the DAQ or its communication hardware. Much of the DAQ devices I use are interfaced through GPIB, so I need a driver to control the GPIB hardware that streams data to and from the DAQ devices on that communication bus. DAQ devices have been designed that plug into every bus on a computer or embedded system, those listed under hardware are only a subset, other common hardware communication methods include I2C, SPI, PCI, RS232/422/485, CAN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.164.144.146 (talk) 20:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed list

Wikipedia is not web directory. The article does not need a mile-long list of bibliography. The article needs references to confirm its text. Therefore I removed this list. NO doubt it is less than 1% of all publications on the topic, even if we forget about languages other than English. Please feel free to return any of them into the article text, but only serving as references for particular statements of the article.' `'Míkka>t 01:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
