Data Acquisition Sub-Systems Designed For Industrial Apps

Touted as a leader in real-time embedded computing systems, a new line of multiprocessor DSP boards and modules integrated into complete data acquisition subsystems has been designed specifically for industrial process and control applications. The integrated sub-systems deliver from 6,400 MIPS of fixed point DSP performance up to 16 GFLOPS of floating point performance in a single 6U VMEbus or CompactPCI slot. The new range of control sub-systems-on-a-board has up to 24 channels of analog I/O and 20 digital TTL I/O lines. PMC module capabilities include single ended or differential A/D output with simultaneous sampling with continuous or burst sampling up to 200,000 samples per second per channel, 32K work FIFO buffer for rapid block transfers and factory configured input ranges of ±10V, ±5V or ±2.5V. Pricing starts at $24,000 for the TI-based module and $18,000 for the PowerPC module. IXTHOS INC., Leesburg, VA. (703) 779-7800.
