Abstract

A data acquisition system can include a central controller to provide a data acquisition system signal. The data acquisition system can also include a cabinet to receive the data acquisition system signal. The cabinet can have an array of modules installed therein. The cabinet can include a backplane connected to each module of the array of modules. The backplane can provide a status request signal to a given module in the array of modules if the given module is assigned a module address identified by the data acquisition system signal. The given module can provide status data characterizing an operational status of the given module in response to the status request.
