Q: 

java drivers for data acquisition hardware?

I need to do some data acquisition & would like to use Java to program my data acquisition application. Right now I am using a LabJack which has a Java wrapper for its driver & it's working ok for simple stuff but I need to upgrade to something real.

anyone aware of a data acquisition platform (NI or Measurement Computing or one of the others) that has Java device drivers available?

+1  A: 

I've used the Phidget hardware before, but it's really hobby level. Worked a treat though.

Interesting, i'll have to check it out. It sounds like it's on the level of Labjack. But I bet the Java driver end of things is more difficult than the analog signal conditioning. (At least it would be for me :D )

oh, the analog sampling rates are pretty slow :((65 samples a second for the 1018)

You might also want to check out this wikibook. I knew about Javaconn, but didn't know it had been withdrawn. I believe most of this hardware comes with serial interfaces.

thanks, but data acquisition (except for simple polling) has higher data rates and more complicated timing than plain serial I/O. Much of data acquisition is about scheduling regularly-sampled ADCs and gathering it into memory on the PC via DMA.
