data capture

The collection of information for computer processing and analysis. Examples of automated data capture include using a sensor that continuously monitors physical conditions such as temperature, or scanning bar codes to produce detailed receipts at a shop checkout (point-of-sale terminal). Manual data capture methods include reading electricity meters, or filling in a form or questionnaire.

Forms and questionnaires designed for data capture should be laid out in a clear and attractive manner, and should be straightforward to follow and complete. Particularly with questionnaires, using check boxes (for yes/no answers or multiple choice questions) enables the data to be clearly categorized for processing.
