An off-the-shelf data acquisition (DAQ) system may cost less to purchase than a custom solution, but how well will it solve your problem?

The analog signals were characterized by infrequent, transient activity. Because the customer simply digitized the inputs for a period of time, lengthy records resulted with comparatively little activity of interest.

A computer program was used to sort through the extensive data sets to find regions of interest and compare them to events found in a similar manner for other channels. The long analysis time was causing overall test times for the entire system to be excessive.
