We use data aquisition and logging for recording electrical signals in plants - for data logging we just store long term data in a txt file and uits normally something we leave in the field , batrtery driven, for a length of time and it stores data on an sd card - it can be converted into a graph, of different data loggers have different file formats (national instruments etc etc) DAQs typically doesnt require you to store any data and are connected to the computer by usb - we use that to trigger sounds when a threshold is reached. yep way off topic !
