That's good news - I plan to give an NI myDAQ (a low-cost, robust data
acquistion box, tailored for educational purposes) to each student for
in-classroom circuit design experiments. An Octave Interface for generation,
analysis and display of signals would be very welcome. Julien, may I contact
you for some additional details?

Juan, thanx for pointing me to the free drivers from http://www.comedi.org.
Unfortunately, it's Linux-only and we are mainly Windows-based.

Christian
