Hi Allan,
You need quite a lot of storage, so do check on the size of the hard
drive. At 10 samples / sec on a single channel, this is a bit under 2 Mb /
day if you record everything. Some older computers had drives of less than 40
Mb and can not address very large drives even if you can change them eg 386
and lower number processors.
Regards,
Chris Chapman
