Data acquisition, often termed simply as DAQ, is comprised of multiple processes used to measure physical, chemical, or electrical data. Digital potentiometers, also known as DS1804U-050/T&R, are just one type of data acquisition device. They consist of a ratiometric digital potentiometer, wherein the tap point can be adjusted either digitally or by an analog voltage. These potentiometers provide an output voltage that is proportional to a reference voltage, allowing precise control over the output.

The main application field of the potentiometer is in the field of automation, where precise control is needed. This technology is widely used in fields such as manufacturing, process control, robotics, and communication systems, to name a few. The accuracy of the output can vary depending on the design. For example, some designs can provide precise control with a resolution as low as a few millivolts or microvolts.

The working principle of a digital potentiometer is relatively simple. It consists of two inputs: a reference voltage and the output voltage. The reference voltage can be adjusted by varying the resistance (R) at the wiper contact. The output voltage is varied by adjusting the resistance (R) at the other end of the resistor chain. Depending on the application, both the reference voltage and the output voltage can be adjusted by an analog voltage or by digital signals.

To set up the digital potentiometer, the user first needs to decide on the required reference voltage. This voltage is then modified with the help of a tuning knob or a digital input. If the potentiometer needs to be set up with an analog control, a sensor can be connected to the wiper contact. (R) The sensor is then used to adjust the resistance setting of the potentiometer. This setting can be monitored and adjusted in real time, allowing the user to obtain the desired result.

When using digital signals to control a digital potentiometer, a simple logic circuit is used to drive the wiper contact (R) to the desired value. This type of potentiometer can be used for various applications, such as setting levels for audio or video signals, or providing precise control of an actuator or motor.

In conclusion, digital potentiometers are an essential component of data acquisition systems. They allow precise control of an output voltage by adjusting the resistance (R) of the wiper contact. This technology can be used for various applications, such as physics experiments, manufacturing or process control systems, and even robotics. Digital potentiometers are also available in various designs, with resolutions ranging from millivolts to microvolts.
