Abstract:
Three commercial products for data acquisition with the Macintosh computer, known by the trade names of LabVIEW, Analog Connection WorkBench, and MacLab were reviewed and compared, on the basis of actual trials, for their suitability in physiological and biological teaching laboratories. MacLab scored highest for ease of use but low for power and versatility. LabVIEW is the most powerful but requires extensive training. Analog Connection WorkBench offers a combination of versatility and ease of use.
