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.
Mark Morris, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, ZTEC, commented: "We were looking for a distributor in the UK that could offer technical support and excellent customer service".
"Amplicon excels in both of these areas".
"We are sure that this partnership will be positive for all concerned".
John Hayward, Amplicon's Data Acquisition Product Manager added: "By offering the ZTEC range to our customers, we will be giving them a complete solution".
"I am delighted that we have been selected to distribute these products, and look forward to working together in the coming months".
The products include several high performance digital storage oscilloscopes ranging from 200Msample/s up to 1Gsample/s, especially suited to mixed signal test and high speed signal acquisition in both legacy and next generation modular systems.
Besides these, a 3GHz "three-in-one" RF signal analyser for ATE and field measurement of telecomms and radar systems is available.
This provides the three functions of frequency counter, peak power meter and time interval analyser in a space saving package that can easily be used in a portable PXI chassis.
In addition a 14bit 300Msample/s arbitrary waveform generator, and a timing device offering onboard GPS functionality, fast star trigger, flexible PXI trigger routing and multiple PXI chassis synchronisation, is available.
Several of the DSO products can be used as replacements for other legacy manufacturers' VXI boards, as they are fully interchangeable with identical footprints, fit and functions, have support for legacy commands and offer enhanced features for next generation systems.
