acquisition box Explanation: I work in the software industry and that's the general name we use for any device that collects some sort of data and interfaces directly with the computer. Try the link to this French website that also has an English version. (see reference) You will find the term translated that way. Reference: http://www.users.skynet.be/ctcardio/ecg12d.htm |

flight data acquisition unit/Meter test data acquisition unit/data acquisition unit Explanation: Hi, Is the software related to cars? I found "boîte d'acquisition" in the following context: Un capteur de vitesse et d'accélération est installé, grâce à l'adaptateur universel, sur une roue non motrice du véhicule (pour éviter de mesurer d'éventuels glissements). Il est relié à un boîtier d'acquisition placé à l'intérieur du véhicule puis à un ordinateur portable. http://www.rotronics.com/html/body_kit_mpe.html I also found this term in connection with airplanes: 1. Domaine(s) – Air Transport flight data acquisition unit boîtier d'acquisition principal Source: Termium And: AlliedSignal Aerospace - Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) / ... ... capsule. The computer that collects and processes information for the flight data recorder a flight data acquisition unit is installed separately from the FDR.... aerospace.alliedsignal.com/aerospace/products/aircraft_products/ products/voice_flight_data_recorders.html - 16k Or http://www.siemens.co.za/news/990624_uds.html is the URL for Siemens. Visit their site, and you can even see what this "boîter" looks like. They call it "Versatile Meter Test Data Acquisition Unit". Or: http://www.tankradar.com/stc/products/sdau.htm The Slave Data Acquisition Unit is used to connect temperature sensors and for local readout (if the Local Readout Display is included). The Slave Data Acquisition Unit is powered from, and communicates through the Radar Tank Gauge to which it is connected. The Slave DAU is intrinsically safe. The intrinsic safety is provided by a Barrier Unit mounted in the Radar Tank Gauge. It seems to me a "boîtier d'acquisition" is a "data acquisition unit" that serves many purposes, depending on how it was designed and which company designed it. I would use "data acquition unit". Best regards, Connie Reference: http://www.termium.com Various URLs, Google |
