LaserEvaluMation, LLC developed a data acquisition system for acquiring data from a Tera-Hertz laser detector. The customer required a data acquisition system that could simultaneously sample 16 analog signals generated from 16 Tera-Hertz detectors. The system is used to characterize different Tera-Hertz laser sources. The signals from the detectors are very noisy and require a signal analysis algorithm called lock-detection to pull the useful components of the signal out of the noise. A diagram of the data acquisitions system is shown below.

EvaluMation, LLC developed a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that collects the data from all 16 detectors, displays the data to the user, and saves the data to a local file. A picture of the GUI is shown below.
