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.
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)
These DAQs will be used in a course lab and will have to be supported by
university staff technicians. They will not be happy if I select hardware
without "official" support. That's just the way it is here. If it were for
my lab, I would have not problems with relying on "community" support.
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.
Thank you (and the other posters) for the information.
