The prizes

Elektor editors have phoned their contacts in the trade and industry to request sponsorship for this special event. The response was overwhelming. For example, National Instruments have sponsored 8 LabVIEW packages complete with USB data acquisition modules, representing a total value of £18,500! Agilent kindly added a fantastic portable oscilloscope worth £1,300 to our stock of prizes. Fluke obliged by allowing us to give away one of their digital multimeters worth £460. Elektor themselves added a little something to the stock of prizes: an ElekTrack unit that allows you to fi nd back your caravan at all times, or indeed any other vehicle or valuable object. Also from Elektor are sets of E-credits and a number of vouchers that allow you pick your own prize from the Elektor Shop.
