Benefits

• Portability and ease-of-use
• Small, portable modules are easy to transport and
  use in the field
• Easy signal connections
• Connect to laptop or desktop
• Powered by USB port
• Enclosure protects board from harsh environments
• Hot-swapping" capability means the PC does not
  have to be shut down to install hardware.
