ABSTRACT:
In a medical imaging system having a data acquisition system (DAS) that provides both image data and non-image data to a main computer of the medical imaging system via a plurality of DAS channels, wherein the DAS channels convey mostly image data, a method and apparatus is provided for selectively sampling and multiplexing auxiliary (AUX) data, such as system monitoring and system diagnostic data, and providing the AUX data along with the image data to a bank of analog-to-digital converters. A plurality of programmable sampling and multiplexing modes are provided so as to ensure that each AUX data signal is sampled at a rate that is appropriate to a phase of operation of the medical imaging system, such as system monitoring, or system diagnostics.
