Data acquisition for Android-based tablets from Measurement Computing
Measurement Computing has announced the release of USB DAQ device support for Android-based tablets. As tablets gain popularity, Measurement Computing is at the forefront of targeting these new devices with its low-cost USB data acquisition products.
The The Android API provides programmers with a method of communicating with these devices without the need for understanding USB communication mechanisms.
Unlike most DAQ devices, which interface to the computer via low-level commands, DAQFlex devices interface with simple text messages. In addition to Android, DAQFlex also includes out of the box support for Windows, Linux and Mac.
