Bill and all,

Know you must have had this answered but the LabJack works with
NOVA from Northern Lights Software Assoc.

The interesting thing is that you can have multiple (5 max) LabJacks
connected for use with different rotors/antennas and NOVA will switch
between them in software. No need to switch cables etc. I use one LJ
for a Yaesu setup and another for a 10' dish on AO-40. NOVA remembers
cal constants etc. for each LJ. With LJ's 14 bit (16 bit in differential 
mode)
ADC's, my BUD tracks +- 0.2 deg indicated. Wish I knew what the
mechanical slop added to that but it works so well I don't think I'll 
bother
to try and measure it.

73 de N7UB, Al
