This chapter serves as a starting point in this research. It will explain what triggered physicists to develop the prototypes for data readout, which evolved later into complex Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems and subsequently became an integral part of any modern experiment in particle physics. Based on the examples of such systems, related to Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), presented in this chapter, we will see the latest trends inherent in these systems to overcome their constant challenges in terms of data rate and data selection. Finally, a short motivation together with an outline of this work related to the DAQ system of AntiProton ANnihilations at DArmstadt (PANDA) experiment will be provided.
