physical conditions and convert the resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be
manipulated by a computer.
Data acquisition, often abbreviated to DAQ and sometimes DAS, is widely used in many areas
of industry. Data acquisition is used to acquire data from sensors and other sources under
computer control to bring the data together, store it and then manipulate it.
In view of the wide variety of signals and parameters that can be sampled and stored, data
acquisition involves many techniques and skills.
The counter is one of the widest applications of the flip flop. Based on the clock pulse, the output
of the counter contains a predefined state. The number of the pulse can be counted using the
output of the counter.

TIMERS: -
At present in our daily life, Timers play a key role which is used in watches, clocks, or
phones. With hectic plans, most people easily forget many schedules. So, a digital timer
is used to give an alert to remind you of your schedules like checking BP or take
medications and many more.
But in the industrial or commercial fields, these are not applicable. For new revolutions in
electronic devices, the electronic industry has paved way for timers, loggers &
controllers.
Applications
The applications of digital timers include the following.
Digital timers are used in the applications of large industries and common consumer
applications.
These timers are mainly used in equipment for process control to help in process
regulation.
These are used in industries to record the equipment’s age and use & they are used like
consumer electronics for recreational & household use.
Digital timers are broadly used in a variety of industrial processes for controlling devices’
timing and also to check the life cycles of equipment.
Advantages
The advantages of a digital timer include the following.
Portable
Battery Operated
Less Cost
Highly Effective
Less Weight
Provides Exact Measurement
The output of SAR is converted to analog out by the DAC and this analog output is compared
with the input analog sampled value in the Op-Amp comparator. This Op-Amp provides a high
or low clock pulse based on the difference through the logic circuit. In very first case the 3-bit
SAR enables its MSB bit as high i.e., ‘1’ and the result will be “100”. This digital output is
converted to analog value and compared with input sampled voltage (Vin). If the deference is
positive i.e., if the sampled input is high, then the SAR enables the next bit from MSB and result
will be “110”. Now if the output is negative i.e., if the input sampled voltage is less than the SAR
resets the last set bit and sets the next bit and resultant output in this case will be “101” which
will definitely approximately equal to the input analog value. The counting sequence is explained
by the following counter flow chat as shown in below.
Advantages:
1 Conversion time is very small.
2 Conversion time is constant and independent of the amplitude of the
analog input signal VA.
Disadvantages:
1 Circuit is complex.
2 The conversion time is more compared to flash type ADC.
