Benchmarking Data for Simultaneous Data Acquisition Systems

Updated Feb 4, 2020

Visão geral

Benchmarking data is very useful when deciding what type of components are needed to meet system requirements. For more complex systems, they may help decide what type of system architecture should be implemented depending on the current and future requirements of the application. This document contains benchmarks of some typical dynamic signal acquisition applications.
