                       Windmill News:                        
   Windmill Launch New Range of Data Acquisition Hardware    

We are delighted to announce the first in our own line of data 
acquisition devices - the Windmill 750.

The 750 plugs into your computer's USB port and costs just 295 
British pounds (around 440 US dollars or 470 Euros). The price 
even includes our Windmill software suite, which we normally 
sell for 145 pounds on its own! Plus, we offer discounts for 
education.

One 750 unit lets you use your PC to monitor up to 16 voltage 
inputs, 16 digital inputs & outputs and 8 counters. You can 
connect eight 750s to one computer, increasing the number of 
inputs and outputs. The Windmill software applications let you 
log and chart data, switch outputs and save libraries of set-
up files for different tests or experiments - all without 
programming. What's more, data can be sent straight to Excel, 
or other Windows applications.

We're so confident that anyone can use our 750 bundle with the 
minimum of effort, we offer free technical support for life.

We aimed to create the best value USB package you can buy - we 
think we've succeeded. For more details visit our on-line DAQ 
catalogue or e-mail sales@windmill.co.uk
