Normally, Data acquisition (DAQ) is used to acquire the signals from different devices like sensors, transducers, actuators etc. The data acquisition is also used to analyze the signals, digitizing the signals and acquiring the signals from different inputs. The main drawbacks in data acquisition system are data storage, hardware size and remote monitoring. The System-on-Chip Field Programmable Gate Array (SoC-FPGA) is used in the proposed system in the aim to reduce the hardware and memory size. Further to provide remote monitoring with Ethernet/Wi-Fi, the Network Control Module (NCM) is integrated with Data acquisition and processing module for the communication between the systems. This developed system achieves high resolution with memory reduction, reduced hardware size, fast remote monitoring and control. It is used for real time processing in DAQ and signal processing. For fault tolerance and portability, the full system reconfigurability based FPGA acts as the best solution and the system can be reused with different configurations. The control of data acquisition and the subsequent management of data are coded in LabVIEW. LabVIEW tool is used to design and develop a four-channel Data Acquisition and Processing (DAQP) unit. National Instruments Data Acquisition (NIDAQ) and National Instruments Field Programmable Gate Array (NIFPGA) are used to test and implement the design for real time processing. This is designed to provide high accuracy, storage and portability.
