A data acquisition and control module with a serial-port interface, the JSL11A84 ($259) from Jasco Research (Sidney, British Columbia, Canada) has 11 analog input channels with programmable X1 or X10 gain on four channels. The serial-port connection is switch-selectable at rates ranging from 300 bps to 38.4 Kbps, and the module has a sampling rate of up to 180 Hz for one channel and 16 Hz for all 11 channels at 9600 bps.
