Hi Fil,

Well, you are welcome to try. :-) I've designed, and Joerg Hansmann
is designing, input stages, so that's already taken care of. However,
you do need some kind of analog optical isolation between that and
the PC for safety reasons.

Pesonally, I only have time for the 8-channel device I'm working on,
but I'd be happy to give you advice and feedback on such a design.
You could probably ask any analog designer for help though, it is not
a very complex problem.

Best Regards,

Andreas
