In this paper, the benefits and advantages of combining advanced embedded processingudcapabilities with an FPGA based approach within a Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) areuddiscussed. The paper begins with a discussion of some of the services and functionality thatudsuch a system enables. Basic features such as system discovery, verification, configurationudand upgrade are discussed in addition to other value added services such as continuous builtudin test (CBIT) and embedded real-time parameter quick-look. Finally, the paper discussesudsome advanced services that could be deployed to these systems such as emergingudcommunication protocols, multimedia connectivity and discovery, and advanced MachineudLearning based systems diagnostics.
