A data acquisition system

摘要

A data acquisition system receives and stores a datastream from a monitored process via a datastore memory (10). A dataword generator using a memory array decode register (14), a step size shift register (15), a minimum shift register (16) and a maximum shift register (17) controls storage of datawords in the datastream into a memory array (20) where they are sorted using a memory sequencer (27) in response to data type. Sorted datawords stored in the memory array (20) are then transmitted to a secondary datastore for storage in a contiguous block of memory.
