Large displays offer 50 or 100mm high LEDs
Designed to enable displayed data to be read over long distances, the BDF series are large four or six digit displays with 50 (2in) or 100mm (4in) high LEDs.
SBC Incorporates Celeron Pentium II Processor
A new generation single board computer, which incorporates the state-of-the-art Celeron Pentium II, is now available from Amplicon Liveline.
Spanning all factors usually associated with PXI, the range allows a wide variety of applications, including machine automation, in-vehicle control and testing, wireless communications etc to be addressed, with end users offered advice by Amplicon's technical team on exactly the right product, or combination of products, for their particular application.
For high performance, medium sized applications, the PXIS-2600 series is a 3U PXI chassis with seven peripheral slots, available in both colour LCD and touchscreen versions.
It also features an industrial 400W power supply, system monitoring and hot swappable front mounted fans.

"Plug and Play" PCI Analogue Output Boards
The PCI224 and PCI234 PCI bus analog output boards are high performance plug and play boards costing less than most comparable "low-cost" boards.
Four or Eight Port Serial boards for the PCI bus
Designed for the demanding communications environment, the 242 and 244 PCI four and eight port serial boards are available with or without isolation.
The PXIS-2500 portable desk/benchtop chassis provides up to five slots for PXI expansion cards and a single 12HP slot for the controller, both of which could be from any vendor, making it ideal for modular systems.
Its internal 10MHz reference clock is available on all slots, in addition to star trigger, PXI trigger bus and PXI local bus.
It features an industrial 250W CompactPCI removable AC power supply, with a DC input also available.
The third model, PXIS-2700, is a reliable, easy to use device featuring one system slot with two PXI-PXI bridges, and 17 PXI/CompactPCI I/O slots.
This model is better suited to high density I/O and high performance applications.
Each of the 17 PXI slots has an internal 10MHz reference clock, and a trigger clock which is segmented into three with the star trigger bus available to the first 13 slots.
It also features 460W + 460W redundant power units.
Power, temperature and cooling fans are monitored by an alarm module, and are also hot-swappable.
Many end users prefer to have the option of extending their systems using PCI to PXI or PXI to PXI extensions, as these are a far more cost efficient means of providing direct PC control.
Amplicon offers a high speed bridging solution in the Adlink PCI-8570 and PXI-8570 devices.
These provide a high level of scalability and reliability to PCI based systems, and a low latency, high throughput path to PCI slots in an expansion chassis.
In addition, a single device can extend to 2 PCI segments, thereby monitoring two PXI/CompactPCI chassis with a single controller, which significantly reduces costs.
