Abstract
A serial digital data acquisition receiver (SDDAR) or system of receivers may include an opto-isolator assembly, sampling logic and a USB interface. Both a CLK signal and a DATA signal may each pass through the opto-isolator assembly upon receipt of the CLK and DATA signals at the SDDAR or system. The sampling logic may be operably coupled to the opto-isolator assembly and be configured to determine a point at which to sample the DATA signal based on state changes in the CLK signal. The USB interface may be operably coupled to the sampling logic and an output terminal. The USB interface may be configured to provide telemetry data for processing, display or recording at the output terminal, and may be configured to enable the SDDAR or system to be powered from the output terminal.
