$150 USB data acquisition device for OS X MATLAB

hi all

i just wrote and posted a set of OS X MATLAB functions, called Daq,
that provide full control of a data acquisition device (DAQ), the
PMD-1208FS from Measurement Computing. This daq costs $150 and offers
50 kHz input and output 12-bit sampling of analog voltages (8 in, 2
out) and 16 digital i/o lines. It's the size of a wallet and is powered
through its USB cable. We have complete control of it from within
MATLAB, via the PsychHID extension, included. Daq implements all the
important functions described in the PMD-1208FS firmware specification
manual.

you don't need to be a Psychtoolbox user; you can download and use just
the Daq software. Requirements: MATLAB and Mac OS X 10.3 or better.
Works well with a laptop. You can read about and download the software
