Yeah I figured Labview would be the defacto standard.
I think one of the reasons the wheel keeps getting reinvented is
because rocket guy's are pretty disorganized and use so many different
approaches and I bet DAQ is one area we could all use a defacto
standard.
The one thing that stands in the way of a lot of amateurs getting
organized is it seems like EVERYONE is on some kind of secret mission
and nearly EVERYONE is afraid of ITAR.
I must say that kind of thinking just keeps rocketeers in the stone
age.
There should be an organization for Amateur Rocketeers that has nothing
to do with HPR.
It's the small incremental successes that add up to benefits for the
greater good of all. The main problem I see is the loss of so much work
done by individuals which is very sad to me indeed.
At least we have arocket

The most common software in the world for this sort of thing is probably
LabView. LabView is commercial software and its relentlessly visual
paradigm takes some getting used to for those more used to conventional
programming languages. That said, it's a very powerful tool and it
encapsulates a lot of tricky stuff.
As for common hardware and sensors... no.

Is there a standard software used?
The reason I am asking is because I want to use what most of the guy's
use and understand. Sure I can come up with something but I would prefer
something the most people could work with.
