DAQ system
This page contains technical details on the wave/tow tank's DAQ system. For operating instructions, see DAQ system operation.
The data acquisition "cube" is an evolution of the old cube, and now it's not really a cube. It has been significantly reduced in size since an on-board computer is no longer required as of the 2012 DOE grant upgrades. Normally the DAQ Cube is attached to the on-board electronics cabinet, but can be removed for remote applications.
