A modular system (10) for acquiring biometric data includes a plurality of data acquisition modules (14, 16, 18) configured to sample biometric data from at least one respective input channel at a data acquisition rate. A representation of the sampled biometric data is stored in memory (60, 62, 64) of each of the plurality of data acquisition modules (14, 16, 18). A central control system (12) is in communication with each of the plurality of data acquisition modules (14, 16, 18) through a bus (26). The central control system (12) is configured to collect data asynchronously, via the bus (26), from the (60, 62, 64) of each of the plurality of data acquisition modules (14, 16, 18) according to a relative fullness of the memory (60, 62, 64) of the plurality of data acquisition modules. |
