National Instruments' new CompactFlash data acquisition device, the NI
CF-6004, plugs into any PDA with a CompactFlash slot to create a handheld
instrument providing up to 200k samples/s single-channel sampling on four
analogue input channels. Users can also make use of the LabVIEW graphical
programming environment for Pocket PC to define their own instruments and
subsequently acquire, analyse and view data on their PDAs. Using a single
PDA with LabVIEW and the new CompactFlash card avoids the need for
several traditional handheld measuring instruments, reducing costs and
simplifying data acquisition tasks.
