EMG signal acquisition

[Panagiotis Artemiadis]

Dear friends,

Can I use a DAQ card from National Instruments, with 16 analog inputs,
and to connect 16 BNC electrodes with a proper cable-adapter
which would convert the BNC cables to a 48 pin connector?
and then processing the signal with labview or matlab?

Or to buy a EMG system??
What are the extra features offered by the EMG system?

Please respond to me as soon as possible

P.A.
