Web-enabled data acquisition

Automotive Industries, Oct, 2003

Electro Standards Laboratories has developed an interactive, in-vehicle, Web-Enabled Data Acquisition System (WEDAQ) with GPS to supply real-time data needed. The vehicle sensors are user-supplied sensor inputs to the Data Acquisition Signal Conditioning Unit (DAQ) that monitor the desired vehicle parameters or performance. This system is interactive as system setup parameters are incorporated into the local (in-vehicle) side of the system, but can be modified by either the local-side user or the remote-side user. The GPS magnetic-mount antenna, positioned on the vehicle roof, gathers satellite signal information for the global positioning DAQ subsystem.
