Talk:Data acquisition/Archives/2012

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.

Also, the article is rather biased towards the engineer view of data acquisition. There are other aspects of it, in biological sciences, clinical trials, business, etc, that are not covered in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.112.100.65 (talk) 14:51, 23 August 2011 (UTC) correct!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.124.196.122 (talk) 06:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

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)
 * Personally I have used C,C++,Fortran and Pascal for DAQ; from any of these languages, as from Java or Python or (horror) VB, you can call C routines, which is what drivers usually are - and if there are no drivers, well, I just write them! :-) --Sergio Ballestrero (talk) 22:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

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)
