USB Laptop Hardware Kit

Durango Laptop Hardware Kit consists of USB and PC-card devices, cables, and software drivers.
National Instruments DAQCard-6024E

With the Durango USB Laptop Hardware Kit, you can easily transport full Durango functionality to wherever it is needed.

The iREZ USB Live! is a 24-bit color video image acquisition device that can also capture RS-170 or CCIR monochrome images. Because of USB 1.1 bandwidth, image resolution is limited to 320x240. Performance is therefore somewhat inferior to both the VCE Laptop Kit and our desktop solutions.

The DAQCard can directly drive our Fizeau Phase Shifter or PZT Linear Stage.
