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 250
British pounds.
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@biodataltd.com
PS - For information on the USB (universal serial bus) see
