DataView (CD294)
Dual Line Data Display

The DataView is a two-line, 32-character LCD that displays a real time input

updated as often as they are measured. When the user has not pressed a button
in the last two minutes the DataView switches to low power mode, drawing a
current of less than 100

Windows based PC294W package.
