The Data Acquisition Technology Outlook discusses the following trends:

Big Analog Data and Data Acquisition: Engineers and scientists collect vast amounts of high velocity analog data every second of every day. Drawing accurate and meaningful conclusions is a growing problem, and requires specific Big Analog Data  tools and technologies.

It discusses there Moore's Law at Work in Data Logging. As the digital world we live in becomes increasingly complex, we are demanding more from the systems that monitor the physical and electrical world. Another area covered is that of emerging Bus Technologies. As the computer has evolved, so have bus technologies for connecting peripheral devices. Also, advances in mobile technology are quickly influencing test and measurement solutions. Even though the technology is still young, engineers and scientists are evolving their skill sets to keep pace.

"For over a quarter of a century, NI has been working to improve the productivity of data acquisition applications with a combination of integrated hardware and software," said Dr. James Truchard, president, CEO and cofounder at National Instruments. "Our software-based approach allows us to benefit from the ever-increasing performance of Moore's law in A/D and processor technology."
