FPGA based data acquisition and test system design for diagnostic testing

摘要

Being able to record and analyze data securely have a paramount importance to meet the needs of both military and civilian applications. Therefore, data acquisition systems are used to meet the needs of complex applications. A data acquisition system capable of data conversion, collection and transfer is described in this paper. This system is implemented on FPGA, because of high processing speed feature of it. Also design is implemented using VHDL and simulated on ISE Design Suite. In order to analyze data, an analysis software which is running on the test computer is coded using C#, in .NET platform. All configurations can be made; data can be recorded and analyzed by using this software. The defined system can be used for almost all testing and diagnostic purposes by means of its compact and generic structure.
