A data acquisition system including a first sensor, a second sensor, and
an electronic data acquisition device. The sensors can assume a variety
of forms, such as analog, digital, bus, GPS, etc., and have disparate
information formats. The data acquisition unit is electronically coupled
to the sensors, and includes a processor, an aggregator module and a
communication device. The processor processes information from the
sensors. The aggregator module correlates signaled information from the
first sensor with signaled information from the second sensor based on
time. Finally, the communication device is adapted to transmit
information generated by the aggregator module to a location remote of
the housing.
