You bet. Depending on how much data you're spitting out, the Dashboard might also be a good way to relay data from the RC to the OI (the Dashboard is updated around 40 times per second, which means one of the user variables are updated 40 times per second and the rest are updated 13 times per second). I'll be releasing a really souped-up LabVIEW Dashboard soon for teams to use to display and record what's happening on their robots about the same time you'll be receiving your LabVIEW 8.0 Student Edition copies!
Realize the USB-DAQ device doesn't have any on-board memory nor on-board power, so to use the USB-DAQ to capture data you'd have to (1) plug a PDA (with a USB controller) to the USB-DAQ, (2) connect the USB-DAQ to a wireless USB hub powered on the robot and capture data on a laptop connected to a similar hub, (3) use a long tether, or (4) strap your laptop to the robot while it's doing its thing. My favorite is (1), though I could see you doing (4) if it's safe, and if you can demonstrate a
spectacular use-case I might be able to get a couple
LabVIEW 8.0 PDA modules to give to teams that
request them.
