Original Press Release:

One of the Most Highly Specified and Yet Affordable PXI Instrument Chassis Systems to Date!!

The ADLINK cPXIS-2100 series combines Pentium III processing, Ethernet and USB connectivity, a TFT LCD, seven PXI peripheral slots and power into a versatile 19in rack-mount, portable or benchtop chassis-mounting unit!

For anyone wishing to develop PC-based test and measurement systems for rugged real-world environments, PXI has become the preferred approach worldwide. PXI (PCI extensions for instrumentation) is an open industrial specification which extends CompactPCI for test, measurement and automation applications by adding the trigger bus, system reference clock and local bus to provide the system timing capability while retaining complete interoperability with CompactPCI.

The ADLINK hardware provides top technical specifications at a significant price advantage over the older established PXI vendors. The chassis of the cPXIS-2100 series features a 6.4in TFT LCD enabling results to be monitored on-site without the need for a separate monitor. There is one system controller and seven PXI/CompactPCI I/O slots, with a wide range of processor, peripheral and data acquisition modules available.

These have some impressive specifications, such as full 850MHz Pentium III processing power on the top CPU module, and simultaneous sampling on the PXI-2000 series multifunction cards. Bundled software with the multifunction cards includes drivers for Matlab, LabView, DasyLab and, interestingly, for Linux systems. Specifications and catalogs of the cPXIS-2100 series are available at www.adlinktech.com. Please contact ADLINK sales for more information about the cPXIS-2100 series.
