imho look out for a kit or ready built serial port data logger. There are several, at least one 8 (?) bit fitted into a DB9 shell and powered by the serial port. milivolt reading at 2000mV requires 12 bits (well, 11). Maybe you should buy a datalogger and justify the cost with reuse on other projects ? Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
