RE: 'cheap' DAQ units for private use
Hi all, thank you all soo much for that overwhelming response. Can't answer all responders individually! There have been some very interesting hints among them - I'll check it out soon. As to the Ebay-posters: Have tried to get some interesting parts two or three times but with no success. Seems those sellers do send a quote on their own product if the best bet is'nt good enough for 'em. OR allmost all others use some of those last-second-bet-tools. So at least _I_ am done with ebay for the next future. I'll post a summary of my experience in about two weeks when I got more detailled infos. Thx again and Greetings from Germany! -- Uwe Frenz ~ Dr. Uwe Frenz Entwicklung getemed Medizin- und Informationtechnik AG Oderstr. 59 D-14513 Teltow Tel. +49 3328 39 42 0 Fax +49 3328 39 42 99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW.Getemed.de
RE: 'cheap' DAQ units for private use
Uwe, You stated: allmost all others use some of those last-second-bet-tools. Can you elaborate on what you meant by this? Do you mean that the sellers are using some sort of autoprogram to bid up the auction at the last minute or that people like me are waiting to the last minute to bid and thus driving up the cost of the item? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Uwe Frenz Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 2:24 AM To: LV-Info, list Subject: RE: 'cheap' DAQ units for private use Hi all, thank you all soo much for that overwhelming response.

The LabJACK is a pretty good starting point - it's USB, has decent LabVIEW drivers, and doesn't cost the earth: http://www.labjack.com Chris Christopher G.

Subject: 'cheap' DAQ units for private use From: Uwe Frenz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 10:15:12 +0100 Hi all, I am interested in doing some LV-based DAQ experiments in my home environment. Nothing important, just to check out some ideas. For that I'd need some inexpensive (not necessarily cheap) DAQ HW, that could be used in connection with LabVIEW, maybe later even with the student edn.

Have you tried ebay? I've bought a number of NI daq cards for pennies on the dollar. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Uwe Frenz Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 3:15 AM To: LV-Info, list Subject: 'cheap' DAQ units for private use Hi all, I am interested in doing some LV-based DAQ experiments in my home environment.

When I want low price or simple and don't need a lot of channels, I look at 6B series. That goes to the serial port, so no computer hardware is needed.
