Data acquisition requirements Evaluate the signals, sensors, instruments, interfaces, sampling requirements, and data rates involved in acquiring information from the system or device under test.
Processing and analysis Consider the CPU, GPU, memory, and application requirements needed to process, visualize, and analyze acquired data during or after testing.
Instrument and peripheral integration Determine the connectivity, expansion, and interface requirements for integrating instruments, sensors, acquisition hardware, external devices, and specialized peripherals.
Recording and data management Plan for storage capacity and performance based on acquisition rates, test duration, data retention, and the volume of information generated during testing.
