Abstract

The new generation of inexpensive, powerful, hand-held computers allows ergonomists to collect field data more easily and reliably. Typical programs are described for data collection by questionnaires, event timing and occurrence sampling. Further programs evaluate basic human capabilities using the keyboard and screen as control and display.
