当您需要较短的模拟测量导线,而您的PC距离测量仪器太远,超出USB或GPIB连接距离时,以太网也许能派上用场。使用以太网的数据采集应用包括喷气机引擎测试、机器监视、炉灶与冷柜监视、功率监视。National Instrument公司远程数据采集产品经理Charlie Stiernberg说:“由于人们对节能的关心,功率监测越来越受欢迎。” Ethernet may come in handy when you need shorter analog measurement leads and your PC is too far from the measurement instrument to go beyond the USB or GPIB connection distance. Data acquisition applications using Ethernet include jet engine testing, machine monitoring, stove and freezer monitoring, and power monitoring. Charlie Stiernberg, product manager for remote data acquisition at National Instrument, said: “Power monitoring is gaining in popularity as people are concerned with energy efficiency.” "
