Abstract

A data acquisition system which includes data generating and processing units (1a, 1b, 1c), each of which includes a respective data source (3a1, 3a2, 3b1, 3c1) which serves to generate data. The data each time generated is processed by means of associated data processing means (2a, 2b, 2c 11a1, 11a2, 12a1, 12a2, 13a1, 13a2) in such a manner that each time a digital data word which comprises at least two bits is presented for output. The output of the digital data words takes place in synchronous-parallel fashion in dependence on first control signals (4, 5). Shift registers (6a, 6b, 6c) which are coupled to one another so as to form a chain propagate the digital data words in synchronous-parallel fashion in dependence on second control signals (7, 8) and are coupled to a respective associated data generating and processing unit (1a, 1b, 1c).
