By installing these boards in standard microcomputers, scientists and engineers could quickly create low-cost, easy-to-use data acquisition systems.In the 1980s, Data Translation took advantage of rapidly changing technologies to make products more powerful and user-friendly. For example, advances in integrated circuit architecture enabled designers to add more capabilities onto ever-smaller circuit boards. Also, the emergence of low-cost personal computers with powerful operating systems and graphical user interfaces made it possible for users to develop customized data acquisition systems for a fraction of the cost of large, complex proprietary systems.
