What are the simplest DAQ tools for university teaching labs?

For environmental measurements, it is hard to beat the simplicity of Dracal USB sensors. Students plug the sensor in, launch DracalView and see their data on a graph in less than 3 minutes. No wiring, no driver, no licence.

What instructors appreciate:

  • DracalView is free and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, so it installs on every computer in the lab and on students' laptops.
  • Data is exported to CSV for Excel or Python in four clicks.
  • Advanced courses can go further with our code samples in 10+ languages, LabVIEW examples and the Raspberry Pi.
  • The instruments are robust and covered by a 3-year warranty, which matters when they change hands every semester.
