Instrumentation modules fit cPCI or PXI slots
UEI's PowerDAQ extensions for instrumentation modules work in CompactPCI or PXI slots; C-size chassis and CPU card implement the full PXI spec.
LabView makes it onto Linux
PowerDAQ LabView for Linux makes it unnecessary to turn to open-source drivers, giving engineers the security of a tested software layer driviving some of the industry's most advanced hardware.
As the Racktangle is electrically compatible with the Cube form factors, all the I/O boards available in the cube form factor are also available for the Racktangle.
With over 30 I/O modules available, there will be a configuration ideally suited for almost any application requirement.
The Racktangle's 12 I/O slots provide up to: 300 analogue inputs, 384 analogue outputs, 576 digital I/O, 96 counter or quadrature channels, 144 ARINC-429 channels and/or 48 serial or CANbus ports.
Software for the Racktangle is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework.
The Framework provides a comprehensive, easy to use API that supports all popular programming and operating systems including Windows, Vista, Linux and most real-time operating systems (such as QNX, RTX and RT Linux).
Finally, the board is fully supported by LabView, Matlab/Simulink, DasyLab or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC or Modbus TCP control.
"The Racktangle was developed to support a large OEM (FlightSafety International) who required the functionality of our Cube, but with simpler field configuration and lower mean time to repair (MTTR)", explains UEI President Shaun Miller: "The Racktangle concept has been extremely well received not only by FlightSafety, but by a large number of other customers who are drawn to a more conventional chassis than our Cube".
