Netbook laptop for simple DAQ system?

Solved!
Go to solution

I have LabView 7.0 (full version) and the Application Builder.  I am currently running a test stand with a 700 mghz Compaq desktop and the USB-6008 daq which is sampling once per second.  It is working well.

 

I would like to build four more test stands, and I am tempted to use the little "netbook" laptops that have the Intel "atom" processor.  They are available with Windows XP, which is also my current test stand OS.

 

Has anyone had successes or failures with the "netbook" computers?  These would be running only the data logger with the Labview runtime modules (no development work).

I believe you should be fine, as these devices run XP and seem powerful enough. You might wish to take a look at this.

Should be sweet.

 

We have used Via and Intel motherboards (inc. a low spec. Atom board). 1/2 to 1 GB RAM, 1 to 2 GD SSD, several custom USB DAQ peripherals, XP Embeded. So although not a net book, they are basically a similar spec.

 

I would expect it to be pretty straight forward if you build an installer and  are using standard XP.
