Answer

Correct option: (ii) Conversion of physical signals into digital form

Explanation

A microcontroller-based DAQ system acquires signals from sensors and converts them into digital values for processing.

The typical sequence is:

Sensor → Signal Conditioning → ADC → Microcontroller → Processing/Storage/Communication

For example, an analog temperature sensor may produce 0–5 V. The ADC inside or connected to the microcontroller converts this voltage into a digital code, which the microcontroller can use to calculate temperature.

Therefore, the correct answer is (ii).
