c) Philip Vaughan
d) Robert Abalakov
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Jeff Kodosky invented LabVIEW. He invented it at National Instruments. He was the co-founder of National Instruments. LabVIEW provides an interface in which a user can manually enter one or many sample sets and can convert it into graphical form or manipulate it to give reasonable meanings. It is used for controlling Data acquisition systems.

5. Data acquisition can be done on qualitative quantities.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Data acquisition cannot be done on qualitative quantities. It can be only done on quantitative quantities. Data acquisition is a process of sampling physical signals that can be represented in the form of digital numeric values.

6. DAQ (Data acquisition system) cannot be controlled using C++ programming.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: DAQ (Data acquisition system) can be controlled using C++ programming. C++ programming is generally used for coding in DAQNavi. Other software such as JAVA, BASIC, LabVIEW can also be used for this purpose.

7. What type of interface does a DAQ (Data acquisition) hardware creates?
a) Interface between two similar signals
b) Interface between a computer and signal
c) Interface between two dissimilar signals
d) Interface between two similar hardware
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A DAQ (Data acquisition) hardware creates an interface between a computer and signal. These signals are collected from the outside world. They are set of physical values that can be sampled and is collected using different sensors.

9. Who invented Electro cardiogram?
a) Grueblerowen
b) Vitaly Conrad
c) Willem Einthoven
d) Robert Conrad
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Willem Einthoven invented Electro cardiogram. He was a Dutch physiologist and physician who developed Electro cardiogram in the year 1895. He received a noble prize in the year 1924 for it. Electro cardiogram is an example of data acquisition system. The data and physical samples of heartbeats are collected by the Electro cardiogram and is converted into suitable and meaningful graph using a computer.
