Hardware
Our boards are used with our drivers to quickly design DACQ and instrument
control for scientific equipments. Our combination of drivers and boards will
have your application up and running with a minimum of effort in the minimum
amount of time. We have experience with the following hardware platforms : 8051,
6800, TI DSPs, PIC controllers. If you do not find what you need, Please contact
us, and let us know about your requirements.

Embedded DSP
ModCtrl
DSP : TMS320C203 - 40 / 56 / 80 MHz
Memory size : SRAM 128 K + Flash 128 K + Flash Drive
PC Link : IEEE 488 and RS232 and Fast Synchro Serial Bus (ASKLink)
Analog IO : ADC & DAC 16 bits - 100 KHz -
Digital IO : 8 Bit configured either as Input or Output + 1 Input
Driver : Win32
This DSP controller is 8.5" by 6". ModCtrl is an 'acquisition computer' by
itself. The board carries its own Hard-drive to sustain long and fast
acquisition periods. ModCtrl comes already with its own high resolution ADC (+
Electrometer with programmable gain ) & DAC. Control of additional functions can
be done using 1 of the 2 parallel 16 bits ports available. The ASKLink, a Fast
serial bus (SPI with 32 Address available) + I2C can be used to easily control
'distant' modules function within your instrument. Software development is done
through a serial link compatible with TI development tools.
Embedded DSP
DSP2
DSP : TMS320C203 - 40 MHz
Memory
size : SRAM 128 K + Flash 128 K + IDE Hard-drive
PC Link : IEEE 488 and RS232
Driver : Win32
The unit is controlled via a GPIB interface. The driver is a 32 bits Windows
compatible program.
This board has mainly been designed as a plug-in replacement board of the
Smart-card for the HP mass spectrometers. However, the board and technology may
be used for other applications. The board carries its own Hard-drive to sustain
long and fast acquisition speed. Software development is done through a serial
link compatible with TI development tools.
DSP Processor
DSP2BAG
TI 320C203 - 40 MHz
PC Link : RS232
This DSP controller core is 3.1" by 2.5". It is small, yet powerful. The DSP is
a 16 bit processor from TI clocked at 40 MHz. The board comes with 64 KWords of
RAM, 128 KByte of FLASH, one RS232 link, one fast 16 bits bus.
Software development is done through the serial link compatible with TI
development tools. This low cost controller board may be used in many instrument
controller applications.
