Anyone have a recommendation for a panel pc to run Labview? Looking for 6 to 10" lcd, touchscreen, ethernet, etc. I'm looking at this unit - http://www.digitaltechinc.com/ppc_64.html and a 10" version. Suggestions, caveats appreciated. Thanks.
Nothing on the specific hardware you mention, just a comment that unless you make everything on the screen really, really big and keep things very simple, IMHO touchscreens end up being more trouble than they are worth. I can't count all the applications I have worked on that initially specified a touchscreen and in the end used industrialized keyboards and/or trackballs.

Thanks for the feedback. We've architected the application such that all of the detailed user interface is on a full size pc with keyboard and mouse, while only 'Start-Stop-Reset-Review' are on the touchscreen. We're leaving holes in the bottom of the box, however, for a keyboard and mouse cable just in case.
