Dear subscribers,
A few months ago I requested for portable data-acquisition systems.
I made a selection from the many reactions I got and send the reactions
to the biomechanics list now. Thanks for all the reactions and kind regards

Hello, Ronald
in the area of competitive shooting, there are some special training devices
allowing connectivity of data collection peripherals (laser/IR operated
target, stabiloplatform, tension gauges etc.) to a pc, but unfortunately
with 1 to 3 inputs only. I have addresses of one Finnish, one Czech and one
Russian company producing these training systems, if you are interested in.
In turn, could you send me a summary of the responses you have got? Being
a shooting coach, I can imagine a few good applications of such a system
in high performance training.
Thank you
Jaro

I am responding to your request (on BIOMECH-L) about the data acquision
hardware. A company called National Instruments makes boards which
plug directly into a PC (386 or better). My company has recently
(i.e., last Friday) purchased several of their boards. One that you
might be interested in is:
AT-AO-6: $1000
6 Analog Output Channels
12 bit resolution
8 Digtial I/O Channels
200 kHz throughput
1000 word FIFO
Direction Memory Access
The $1000 includes some software.
I have not had a chance to evalute the system fully, but it looks pretty
good at first glance. They also offer a more advanced software package
for about $1500 more which allows you to easily pop-up windows, sub-windows,
sliders, buttons, etc. so that you can customize your display.
There's also a company called Data Translation. They also make PC plug-in
data acquisition. They tend to be a little pricier, and I don't think
they have a product with 6 analog output channels. Their software is
better though.
Good luck. Let me know if you need for information.

Re data acquisition systems.
I am familiar with a couple, one which is very low cost and can sample up
to a few times per second. This plugs into the parallel port and s'ware
writing is very easy and can be in a number of languages. The next step
would be to obtain a plug in board, and the cost can be anything from
approx. !200 upwards, basically depending on acquisition speed. There is a
UK co., which supplies a very wide range of boards. For further info, email
me at J.C.Knowles@qmw.ac.uk

Dr. Gross at the University of MIchigan suggested I respond to your request for
a small data acquisition system that is easily carried by an individual and
readily down loaded.
We produce the 'DataBear Measurer', a 300 g device that accepts 4 external
analog signals (could be five) and includes an on-board temperature sensor in
addiiition. Stores 30,720 samples that can be set at intervals on any number
of seconds. For example two channels at one minute intervals last almost 11
days. I carry this about frequently.
One configuration is as a hygrothermograph, another as a CO personal Exposure
Measurer, another as a light sensor/storer. Will accept any 0 to 1280 mVDC
signal with 8-bit resolution. Volatge input range can be modified.
Unit comes with extensive read, reset and display/analyse software for the
Macintosh.
In you desire more details or information, please advise.

I've had good luck with their model 5 Tattletale datalogger
