I am currently looking into data-acquisition hardware and software for
either a Macintosh or an IBM PC.  Our decision on the platform to be
used hinges mainly on the ease-of-use of the software.

I am quite enthused about National Instruments offerings, LabView 2.0
(for the Macintosh) and LabWindows 2.0 (for the PC-compatibles).  I'd
like to gather impressions of each, ESPECIALLY from individuals who have
actually USED both packages.  Our main focus will be doing FFT's on data
pulled from a temperature sensor array, so I also need to focus on the
appropriate version of each package (i.e. I don't think LabWindows 1.2
will cut it here).

If you have experience with both packages, please drop me E-mail at the
address below.  I'd like to keep the cross-posting to a minimum, as I
don't often get to comp.sys.ibm.pc.

Thanks much!

Paul
