Benchmarking Data for Simultaneous Data Acquisition Systems
Benchmarking data are very useful when deciding what type of components you need to meet system requirements. For more complex systems, you may use them to decide what type of system architecture you should implement depending on your current and future application requirements. This document contains benchmarks of some typical dynamic signal acquisition applications.

New Isolation Technologies Ensure Safety at Lower Cost
Transients, hazardous high voltages, and electrical noise constantly attack your data acquisition and control equipment. Isolation can provide safety by physically separating the unsafe part of the circuit from the rest of the data acquisition system. With new isolation technologies, you can protect your equipment without spending a lot or hampering performance.

Using a 3-State (3D) Switch in LabVIEW
This example shows a three-state switch and how to use this switch in LabVIEW. The custom control was created using a picture ring control and pictures of the three switch states. Then, the arrows were made transparent and placed over the pictures, so that when clicked the pictures cycle through their states.
