System Interfacing and Data Acquisition topics include: Data acquisition systems, microprocessor i/o, converters like analog to digital and digital to analog, dsp data flow, components interaction, electrical power supply and protection.

The term “interface” used in configuration design is considered as the logical or physical relationship that integrates different modules (i.e. components) in mechatronic systems. 

Data acquisition (DAQ) is a process that involves collecting, storing, visualizing, and processing raw data from the physical world. A DAQ system consists of hardware, software, and a computer. 

DAQ systems are used in many industries, including research, development, production, quality control, and testing. They can measure a wide range of physical and electrical parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and voltage. 

A basic DAQ system has four parts:
DAQ hardware:
Connects the computer and sensors, and converts analog signals from the sensors to digital signals that the computer can read.
Computer: Gathers all the data coming through the DAQ hardware for further analysis.
Sensors: Interact with the subject being measured and produce electrical signals.
Signal conditioning hardware: Modifies and converts the signals into digital signals.
