Re: DAQ for OS X?



Hi Will,

I'm interested in a low cost usb data acquisition solution for OS X. The primary usage would be in a course lab as an introduction to computer interfacing in general, and also would be used as a virtual low bandwidth oscilloscope.

Mac the Scope uses the line inputs on a mac and functions pretty well as a high bandwidth oscilloscope.

I'm having a difficult time trying to find one with OS X support. A product like Labjack:


http://www.labjack.com/

would work, but it does not have official OS X drivers.

Why do you need "official" drivers, if the ones that are available do the job? I have two Labjacks in my lab and one at home that function fine with the drivers that are available. Would it make you feel better that these drivers were developed with the help of a lot of effort by an awfully nice guy at Apple, not to mention a great guy at Wacom who put in his spare time to write both the OS 9 version as well as finishing this OS X version?


The Labjack is made by a smalll, windows only outfit, but they have been very helpful to people interested in getting drivers working on other platforms (like the mac and Linux)



There are many small companies that produce "Labjack" type DAQ devices but none that I have come across come with OS X support.

Pasco Scientific seems to have some nice stuff, haven't tried any myself yet:

Thought I would try this list to see what (if at all) other people are using.

Right now I'm using a Labjack for cyclic voltammetry in my lab and it works well.
