B&B Electronics has the key to using your
PDA for field testing and data collection
The PDA has revolutionized the data processing world. Never before has so
much computing power been available in such a compact package, at such
an affordable price. There are so many applications where the pocket-sized
PDA can take the place of a laptop or desktop, that it boggles the mind.
Whether you are a field technician accessing an industrial automation
system, a service mechanic diagnosing a diesel truck or a route manager
downloading sales data from a vending machine, you can probably use a
PDA to do it.
