I'm seeking reviews & information about good software for multi-channel PC data collection & analysis. I need support for: * multi-channel capability (cross spectra and such) * FFTs * signal filtering * transfer functions A good user-friendly interface is also important with a low learning curve for people who use the software infrequently. The software would collect data via an A/D board of some kind. I've got some information on packages called DADISP, ISA, and ASYST and would appreciate any further comments or comparisons people have. Information about required hardware would be useful but is not as important. Apologies if this posting should not be in this group - but please point me in the right direction ;-) Thanks for your help, Patrick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engineers think that theory approximates reality | Mathematicians never Physicists think that reality approximates theory | make the connection --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Surry, JCMB 2254, Edinburgh, Scotland e||) Edinburgh Parallel EMail: pds@epcc.ed.ac.uk Tel: (031) 650-5960 c||c Computing Centre ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try the HP 3566 or HP 3567. These are PC-based packages that run
in MS-Windows(tm) and work with the HP 3565S hardware.
Hewlett-Packard has several other data acquisition products, you
can find them under the "Signal Analyzers" section of the catalog,
specifically the Dynamic Signal Analyzers. Call your local sales
office or I can help you get more information.
Note that, as I work for HP, I'm not a totally unbiased source so
this isn't a 'review', just 'information'. But it is pretty good
stuff and worth looking into.
Some general specs: HP 3566A HP 3567A
channel count: 8 or 16 2 to 16
cross channel accuracy: +- 0.1 dB +- 0.1dB
phase: +- 0.5 degree +- 0.5 degree
dynamic range: 72 dB 80 dB
max frequency span
spectrum: 12.8 kHz 102.4 kHz
network: 12.8 kHz 51.2 kHz
Measurement capability includes frequency response gain & phase,
coherence, cross spectra, swept sine, transient capture, user math,
and bunches of other stuff.
Good luck!
Paul.
