Denny,

Thank you for that generous offer, I really appreciate that.  However I have managed to find a PICO data acquistion unit here at work which I can borrow for a weekend, so I seem to be fixed for my immediate needs.

Howard,

If you are going to buy a couple then I would definately like to get one for future use, but please don't go out of your way.  Drop me an email if you manage to get some and we can sort out beer tokens.

Strikes me that a USB data aquisition/logger unit would make a great project.  Hmm, perhaps something to think about for the next Circuit Cellar competition, or maybe even a magazine project submission?

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Mike
