Here is a product from Measurement Computing that deserves attention for its many capabilities, some of which are touched upon in this summary here:

Quote:

* Functionally equivalent to National Instruments'
PCI-6052E
* 16 channels of 16-bit A/D resolution
* 333 kS/s maximum sample rate
* Two 333 kHz 16-bit D/A channels
* 8 digital I/O bits and 2 counter/timers
* Triggering of measurement and control via both analog and digital signals
* Easy synchronization of multiple measurement boards

Here is a more detailed description for a more in-depth view that shows why it is a good (and economical) choice:

General Description
The PCI-DAS6052 from Measurement Computing is an accurate and powerful measurement instrument that plugs into any PCI slot in your computer. Combined with powerful software, it turns your personal computer into a measurement system that may be used to automate experiments, construct product test stands, monitor and control production equipment or be embedded in products such as airport security systems and jet fighter test simulators.

Measurements of up to 16 channels at a resolution of 16 bits, (one part in 65,536) on any of 15 inputs ranges may be taken at rates up to 333,000 samples per second. Dual 16-bit analog outputs may be updated at rates to 333 kHz per channel. Discrete digital bi-directional I/O lines ( Cool

can control relays and solenoids, and monitor switch and contact closures.

Software
InstaCal: Installation, Calibration and Test software in one package simplifies these important steps as you turn your PC into a measurement system. Installation detects new hardware and configures your computer and board. Calibration software automates this critical step and keeps your measurements accurate. Test routines verify that all the board's features are operating, and will speed you to a quick resolution. If you need to, call our free technical support. Included free with every board.

Snap-Master: Is a graphical software package that allows the user to start acquiring data within minutes of installing Measurement Computing hardware. Snap-Master is designed for users who do not want to do any programming. Snap-Master emulates standard test instruments such as a digital oscilloscope, data acquisition system, X-Y plotter, stripchart, multi-meter, waveform analyzer and frequency spectrum analyzer. In addition to the Data Acquisition module, the user has the option of adding the waveform analysis and the frequency analysis modules for real-time analysis as well as post processing. Display types include: Y-T, X-Y, stripchart, and meters (digital, analog, bar) as well as cursors, markers and zoom.

MATLAB: MATLAB's Data Acquisition Toolbox provides a complete set of tools for controlling and communicating with Measurement Computing's PC-compatible data acquisition hardware. The toolbox lets you configure your external hardware devices, read data into MATLAB for analysis, and send out data.

Analog Input Accuracy
333 kS/s sampling rate, single channel operation and a 15-minute warm-up. Accuracies listed are for measurements made following an internal calibration. They are valid for operational temperatures within ±1°C of internal calibration temperature and ±10°C of factory calibration temperature. Calibrator test source high side tied to Channel 0 High and low side tied to Channel 0 Low. Low-level ground is tied to Channel 0 Low at the user connector.
