  • Re: Portable A/D systems

    Chuck,

    In your message of Jan 27 you requested information about portable data
    acquisition systems and their feasibility.

    Although this is breaking new ground I had finished developing such a
    system only days before you posted your message.

    I am using a:
    486 DX2 66MHz laptop with 8MB RAM (minimum)
    National Instruments DAQCard 700 PCMCIA data acquisition board
    and LabView 3.1

    for this very same purpose. I am presented with an opportunity to
    collect uniquee data about rapid deceleration of the inter vertebral
    discs of the cervical spine in a location where there just are no ac
    power outlets. Hence the need.

    If I can provide any further information, please call me direct.
