The intelligent data acquisition system for airborne multispectral scanner seriescan not only acquire the multiband analogue signals coming from the optical scanner, butalso control all the subsystems of the scanner to make them cooperate with one another. Inaddition, this system can act as the "interface" of scanners, through hand-shaking and ex-changing information, to bring about the centralized control, display, record and transferof remote sensing information as well as the intelligence of the sensor.
