I would like to acquire field data in a harsh (outdoors, dusty, vibration) environment via pcmcia DAQcard with a more convenient, handheld unit. Currently I use a laptop computer; however, the clamshell structure makes this difficult to handle. I thought a pocket pc or a pen table running windows 2000, 98 etc. would enable me to run Labview and use my existing DAQcard. I need to sample data at 5kHz. Any suggestions on a rugged pen tablet, pocket pc, or other approach that might work for me?
