What is the best way to connect DrDag to a computer without using a parallel cable and specifically for a 20 meters distance?

Hello

You can connect a DrDAQ via USB using a USB to parallel port adaptor: http://www.picotech.com/accessories.html

However, I don't think USB will work over 20 m.

We have tested USB extenders in the past with not particularly good results. A brief report can be found here: http://www.picotech.com/support/kb/kbfiles/CAT5USB.pdf.

You might want to consider extending your sensor cables.

Hope this helps

Robin
