now thats dedication.
looking forward for your cal runs.

side note:

- the keithley DAQ cards have a larger latency than the NI's that can limit fast aquisition. a friend of mine picked that up while trying to make a control system for an inverted pendulum. not really that relevant as the rate required is not very high, but just a heads up. given the choice, go NI.

- the Fluke (damn that's ancient) is not loggable, however, you could "hack into it" and output the signal to the display. Or use a webcam and a visual aquisition .
