This training webinar introduces PC-based monitoring and control using industrial DAQ boards, explaining how PCI and PCIe I/O cards act as a bridge between a computer and real-world sensors and actuators. It reviews common PC board categories (analog input/output, digital I/O, isolated boards for noise protection, and high-speed I/O boards) and shows how they’re used in real applications like machine monitoring, test/measurement systems, and automation equipment. The presenter also covers software options for development, including .NET programming and LabVIEW-based HMI/DAQ projects, and explains how ICP DAS USA supports fast integration with drivers, DLL/OCX components, and extensive demo programs. Finally, the webinar introduces the Unidaq SDK and highlights how its unified API and sample code help engineers quickly build custom PC-based control and data logging applications across multiple programming languages.
