What are some of your favorite "generic" (i.e. non-NI) DAQ instruments? DIO, AIO, etc.
I like Ontrak, for reasons I can't really explain other than comfort level, and Measurement Computing, which most of you have probably heard of.

Hello Richard,
Take a look at HYTEK iUSBDAQ. There are two models of iUSBDAQs, they have the best performance/price ratio. Besides the newest model iUSBDAQ - U1208LOG is unique that combines three features into one DAQ (PC control mode up to 64ksamples/s, standalone data logger mode to USB flash disk directly and build in video functions) that you don't find others on the market, plus still low price. Check it out:

It can be used in sport industry (like golf, baseball), car racing industry, bio feedback, physical therapy, weighing system etc.

One more thing I have to mention about iUSBDAQ is the light and easy to use library, you don't have to install a huge file for drivers, this will make end product easy to maintain.

Your "One more thing" is a good thing to know. My issue with replacing RS232 stuff with USB is the drivers required. It just seems when RS232 stuff works, it works great and works from computer-to-computer with no issues*, whereas the USB DAQ piece may require a CD-ROM to float with it where ever it goes.
