Singapore-based emant.com offers USB 24-bit Data Acquisition (DAQ) Training Kits starting as little as (US$99).

For programming, they can use the industry specific LabVIEW or the popular .NET languages of Visual Basic (VB), C++ and C#.

Thei customers include:

* Educational Institutions that
o want their students to learn DAQ & LabVIEW but cannot allocate the time to create instructional materials and the budget for industrial grade DAQ hardware.
o want to make their existing .NET language curriculum more interesting and relevant for engineering but without incurring a high cost in terms of instructional materials creation or hardware.
* Students who need to use DAQ with LabVIEW or a .NET language Visual Basic (VB), C++ and C# as part of their coursework or during their work attachments.
* Industrial users who do not have to use DAQ with LabVIEW or Visual Basic (VB), C++ and C# .NET on a regular basis. Or the DAQ hardware is deployed in production and unavailable for training
* Hobbyists who are interested to explore the convergence of computers, control and communication using .NET languages Visual Basic (VB), C++ and C#.

Users of our Low Cost USB Data Acquisition (DAQ) Training Kit can learn DAQ and programming in a guided workshop or on their own in a self paced manner.

The learner builds a Light Intensity Logger using our step by step Instruction Guide in less than a day.



While Building the Light Intensity Logger and other interesting Virtual Instruments, the user will learn:

Sensor, Actuators - Light Sensor, Thermistor, IC temperature sensor, LEDs, Switch
