That's a sweet price for that much precision, and 30ksps sounds like its plenty fast enough to run a servo feedback from precision pots. Good thing about the precision being 24 bits, as the max of 3 volts full scale says it will need scaled at the inputs to live with 5 volt or higher circuits. With an SPI interface, working that out to cohabit with a 7i90 looks to be an interesting project. And I just ordered a 4 channel digital scope so I can see this stuff better. A 2GS input gets pricey though. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
