Abstract
This dissertation describes the development, design, implementation and evaluation of a data
acquisition system, with the main aim of using it for data collection on a laboratory pilot ball
mill. An open-source prototype hardware platform was utilised in the implementation of the
data acquisition function, however, with limitations. An analogue signal conditioning card has
been successfully developed to interface the analogue signals to the dual domain ADC
module. Model-based software development was used to design and develop the algorithms to
control the DAS acquisition process, but with limited capabilities. A GUI application has been
developed and used for the collection and storage of the raw data on the host system. The
DAS prototype was calibrated and collected data successfully through all the channels;
however, the input signal bandwidth was limited to 2Hz.
