DASport (from $695) features 16SE/8DIFF analog inputs, eight digital inputs and outputs, two crystal-controlled rate generators, and a 16-bit counter. The system provides 100-kHz streaming to PC RAM or disk, transient capture, and waveform generation. Options include analog triggering and outputs ($100) and an internal battery ($200).
Designed for use with notebook PCs, I/Ocard connects to a PCMCIA Type II slot and features eight differential analog inputs, 30-kHz throughput, and external triggering. Gains and input ranges are software selectable; both unipolar and bipolar input ranges are available. I/Ocard ($595) also features four digital inputs and outputs at TTL-compatible levels, cold-junction compensation, and a voltage-reference output.
