1. A data acquisition system, comprising:
- a sensor disposed on a machine and configured to produce a signal indicative of an operational parameter of the machine;
a data processor and controller configured to convert the signal into a plurality of parameter data points;
a primary data circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store the plurality of parameter data points; and
a variable resolution circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store a compressed parameter data point calculated from the plurality of parameter data points.

Abstract
A machine data acquisition system is disclosed. The data acquisition system may include a sensor disposed on a machine and configured to produce a signal indicative of an operational parameter of the machine. The system may also include a data processor and controller configured to convert the signal into a plurality of parameter data points. The system may further include a primary data circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store the plurality of parameter data points. Additionally, a variable resolution circular buffer may be disposed on the machine and configured to store a compressed parameter data point calculated from the plurality of parameter data points.

17. A machine, comprising:
-
a power source configured to power operations of the machine; a frame operatively coupled to the power source; and a data acquisition system disposed on the machine, including; a sensor disposed on the machine and configured to produce a signal indicative of an operational parameter of the machine; a data processor and controller configured to convert the signal into a plurality of parameter data points; a primary data circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store the plurality of parameter data points; and a variable resolution circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store a compressed parameter data point calculated from the plurality of parameter data points, wherein the data acquisition system is configured to calculate the compressed parameter data point as an average of the plurality of parameter data points, a minimum of the plurality of parameter data points, or a maximum of the plurality of parameter data points. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
