Hello MR.DATTA,
First of all, welcome to the NI Forums. It appears that you are looking for a complete solution to your measurement reqirements. If this is the case, you have many options for how to set up your system. The first consideration is your transducers/sensors. NI does not make transducers, but we can make recommendations and compare different sensors. Once you select your sensors, then the signal they output will dictate what aquisiton/signal conditioning devices you need.
As far as programming goes, you have 2 NI choices. SignalExpress is easy to use and can do a decent amount of signal manipulation. It is good for basic acquisitions and is programmed with high level calls. LabVIEW allows you much more flexibility with your program and makes for an extremely customizable system. It can be used with high level or low level programming. Its signal processing (both real-time and post processing) is far superior to SignalExpress, but is slightly more complicated to use.
It appears that you are in a bit of a time crunch for this system. If you want the fastest (and in my opinion best) option to get this setup, I would call your Technical Representative. They specialize in figuring out exactly what will work best for you (and in my opinion, they are very good). This way you can be sure that everything will work together and meet your requirements. If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to post back.
