Hello, PC world!
 A friend of mine (an electrochemist) is trying to find an inexpensive
data acquisition system for an IBM PC compatible; they only have access
to Taiwanese clones, so I expect an AT is tops.
 The system should permit one to gather about 100,000 data points, compute
averages etc., store them and begin afresh. One "data point" means 3
values: variable potential within -3 -- +3 V with 1 mV accuracy, current
within 10E-9 -- 10E-3 amp with accuracy 1E-9, and something called phase
angle (I'm not sure I understand it correctly, so I won't try to describe
it.)
 They have some quite able electronics technicians who should be able to
take care of the A/D interface etc; the thing that's needed is software.
It sounds like something simple. Has anyone heard of such a beast? Sources?
I'll appreciate any/all information you can provide. Please reply to
NBEHR @ ECNCDC.BITNET, if possible.    Thanks  -- Eric.
