pressure transducers

Can anybody recommend a air pressure Transducer / sensor, logger capable of 0 to 25 lbs that works well with LabVIEW? Manufactures names, model numbers, anything that will get me started looking in the right direction
Thanks

Can't beat Rosemount pressure transducers.  Kind of pricy but you get what you pay for.  If you want less expensive goto Omega.com.  They have a wide variety of pressure transducers from various manufactures (including Rosemount) sold under their own brand. You probably want one with a built in amplifier to provide  a ma or voltage source for your logger.  For a logger, the easiest would be something from NI that would plug into your computer.  if you want an external logger the NI field point is good and I really utilize the Fluke 34970A logger.  Lots of channels, very inexpensive and will accept many types of inputs from dc voltage to thermocouples and RTDs.  There is a driver available from NI for the 34970A and it uses the RS232 port.  It's a multiplexed instrument so it won't be as fast as say a PLC or field point.  That is, it has one measuring circuit and each channel is multiplexed in one at a time.  Still you can scan 20 channels a second with reasonable resolution.
