ComputerBoards and Hewlett-Packard launch HP VEE Lab for data acquisition and measurement
The RF modules were engineered to meet IEEE802.15.4 standards and support the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks.
The modules require minimal power and provide reliable delivery of data between devices.
The modules operate within the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band.

Smarter temperature measurement
Highly accurate temperature measurement is made much easier with the release of a powerful new thermocouple input board for PCs.
Users can acquire and process temperature data for monitoring and control at distances up to 50m indoors, and as much as 750m line-of-sight outdoors.
A small PC interface module (WLS-IFC) connects to the user's PC USB port and allows communication with a virtually limitless number of WLS-TCs and WLS-TEMPs throughout any industrial, commercial or residential space.
The WLS-TC supports eight channels of J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B type thermocouples.
The WLS-TEMP supports 8 channels of data from the same thermocouple types in addition to RTDs, thermistors, and semiconductor temperature sensors.
According to Bill Kennedy, Measurement Computing's Vice President of marketing and Sales: "We are very excited about extending the functionality of our already popular USB product line".
"With the release of the WLS-TC and WLS-TEMP, our customers are no longer tethered to their USB port".
"They now have the convenience of installing their DAQ devices at the point of measurement".
"Our WLS series supports both wireless and USB applications - an extremely flexible solution for our customers to enjoy".
The devices are bundled with all software drivers and TracerDAQ, an industry-leading software package that provides easy data management and analysis.
TracerDAQ converts and saves temperature and alarm data to standard, comma-delimited text files.
It also plots and analyses real-time data or historical temperature files.
Also included are InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, logger setup, calibration and test application; and Universal Library and UL for LabView, powerful language interfaces that allow users to write programs in all of the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax.
