Thank you both! Christopher, The essay is on physics and the topic is "what is the effect of the fuel:oxidizer ratio on the specific impulse of a solid rocket motor". The design I am using involves a load cell to graph a thrust-time graph which will be used to calculate the impulse (integral of the graph), and from that the specific impulse. I have a variety of "sugar candy" propellant grains which will be tested. My knowledge of Labview is limited to my use of Robolab years ago when I used to program lego mindstorms, so I think I will try out the crossover software that Irene suggested. Thanks again, James

Hi, sorry If this question is a inherently obvious, but i'm new to this sort of thing and I desperately need help. I'm a high school student doing an extended essay on rocketry, and I am using an iusbdaq from hytek to log voltages from a load cell. I have it working perfectly with windows, however the laptop i'm using is a mac. I have downloaded the mac driver and whatnot, and can launch the test application which seems to correctly display the input voltages. However, beyond this I am clueless. I suspected that you had to have the Mac version of labview, and then use the labview interface in conjunction with this driver, but i could be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks James
