<<I've used NI's Fieldpoint hardware extensively over the past few years. Now I have a new application that is very volume constrained. I've looked at United Electronic Industries Power DNA hardware, which is a bit smaller than NI's hardware but I still need to go smaller. I only need a few digital outputs and a few analog inputs. Does anyone know of any other hardware out there that might be smaller? Oh, and of course, I'd like the company to have labview drivers for the hardware.>>
Look at a small PLC. Automation Direct http://web4.automationdirect.com/adc/Home/Home has several that sell for $100 - $500 that are very capable. The downside is that you have to program them in a non-LabVIEW language. But they are fast and cheap and can be networked, etc. They have "KepDirect EBC Server" which will provide an OPC interface to LabVIEW.
