Abstract:
A data acquisition system (DAS) (200) includes a plurality of processors (215/412/413/414) comprising at least one first processor (215) and a plurality of second processors (414). The at least one first processor is configured to receive at least one configuration file (502) and generate at least one measurement data application (506/507) from the at least one configuration file. The DAS also includes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) (408) coupled to the plurality of processors. The FPGA is configured to receive the at least one measurement data application and allocate at least a portion (413) of one of the FPGA and at least one second processor of the plurality of second processors to calculate measurement data (556/558/562) at least partially based on the at least one measurement data application and an availability of the at least a portion of the FPGA.
