Free Palm™ PDA Software for Field Measurements Ottawa, IL – PDA's are a standard accessory for technical people on-the-go. But with a built-in serial port and customizable touch-screen, the Palm™ PDA has a lot more potential than being a simple information manager. With the right software and a simple hardware interface, your PDA can be a custom instrument for most any application. Install Syphon™ freeware from B&B Electronics onto your Palm PDA to turn your PDA into a measurement and control instrument with graphical capabilities. Up to eleven analog and three digital inputs can be displayed. And you can control three digital outputs. Data can be displayed in numeric, gauge or graph form. Longer term trends can be monitored using graphing. Syphon uses the popular 232SDA12 I/O module and a special serial cable from B&B Electronics to create a complete measurement solution for under $100. Compatible with all Palm™ PDA's running OS 3.5 or newer, Syphon software gets you up and running without having to write your own custom application. The user can configure the name, scaling, units and resolution of each of the eleven 12-bit analog input channels. The digital inputs and outputs are equally easy to handle. "Lights" on the screen tell you if your input is on or off. Tap the output "light" to toggle each digital output. Syphon is available for free download from B&B Electronics.
