alternative low cost suppliers for LV compatible I/O cards

[Marc Thijs]

I'm looking for a low cost LV compatible card to use in my lab on Windows
PC's by students, because the original NI cards are not so cheap. Number of
I/O, resolution and speed is not so important, but it must work properly.I
don't want to use the "German" solution with a SoundBoard, because its quite
limited. It must have at least 4 I/O and 8 or 12 bit resolution. Has anayone
any experimence with other suppliers than National Instruments in Europe?
Thanks!

Just go to MeasurementComputing.com. I've used these boards for several
years now and haven't had many problems. I would strongly suggest the
CIO-DAS08/JR for $179(US):

I'm sure they'll provide you an educator discount. Oh yeah, these guys
aren't in Europe so perhaps the added S/H won't make them so cheap...

Good luck,
