Richard, We use an Agilent 34970A data aquisition unit with three 34901A 20 channel mux modules fitted. This is not a PC card but a rack and stack instrument about the size of a bench DVM that connects to the PC via a serial cable. It also comes with the software. Very similar to the fluke hydra II. This has proven to be an excellent instrument and well worth the investment. Most other equipment of the same price could only offer around 10 channels of measurement whereas this allows up to 60. It is also modular so you only need buy as many 20 channel mux modules as you need. Regards, Duncan

Set up and define probes, start software, dump into an Excel spreadsheet or report. Communication between the Fluke and the PC is done through serial ports. - Doug McKean ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
