New Analog Output PCI Boards Offer High Resolution, Remote Sensing At Economical Price.Business Editors, High Tech Writers CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2000 Keithley Instruments Keithley Instruments (NYSE: KEI) is a measurement and instrument company headquartered in Solon, Ohio. Keithley develops, manufactures, markets and sells highly accurate instruments and data acquisition products, as well as complete system solutions for high-volume production , Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :KEI) announced today the availability of the KPCI-3130 Series Universal Analog Output Source Boards, designed specifically for applications where robust, high-performance analog output and industrial digital I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output control are required. The KPCI-3130 Series, which includes the 3130 and 3132, represents a continued commitment to manufacturers of semiconductor capital equipment, factory automation machines, and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and integrators who require industrial-grade PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). boards. Bundled with Keithley's extensive "Up & Running" software, the KPCI-3130 Series PCI boards are an outstanding value at $499 to $999. The KPCI-3130 Series incorporates many features typically found only in benchtop instruments: -- The KPCI-3130 Series boards use high resolution digital-to-analog converters operating over a single +/-10V range, thus simplifying programming while providing high resolution and wide dynamic range as compared to conventional multirange analog output boards. This also ensures glitch-free range operation for smoother voltage transitions. -- All KPCI-3130 Series boards can be wired in a 2-wire or a 4-wire mode and are the only boards to offer local and remote sensing, which eliminates lead line losses and improves load regulation. -- Each channel on the KPCI-3130 Series boards can source or sink up to 20mA of current for 4-20mA current loop applications without the need for an external excitation source. -- Industrial digital I/O for solid state relay control without the need for external buffering. Applications for the KPCI-3130 Series include machine automation, production testing, servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk. control, gas flow control, heater control, programmable voltage sources A voltage source is any device or system that produces an electromotive force between its terminals OR derives a secondary voltage from a primary source of the electromotive force. , and simulation testing. The KPCI-3130 offers eight analog output channels with 32 high current digital I/O lines, while the KPCI-3132 provides two analog output channels. Each KPCI-3130 Series board is bundled with an extensive package of free software programs, drivers, and utilities, enabling the user to begin acquiring data within minutes of installation. Keithley's "Up & Running" software includes: -- Start-up utilities and examples: enables users to immediately exercise all functions of the KPCI-3130 Series board. -- DriverLINX(R): 32-bit driver support for Visual BASIC, Visual C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++, Delphi, TestPoint(TM), LabVIEW(TM), DLL (1) See data link layer. (2) (Dynamic Link Library) An executable program module in Windows that performs one or more functions at runtime. DLLs are not launched by the user; they are called for by an executable program or by other DLLs. , and ActiveX. -- LabVIEW drivers: Virtual Instrument (VI) software drivers for running the KPCI-3130 Series board under LabVIEW. -- TestPoint support: enables the KPCI-3130 Series to be used with Keithley TestPoint. -- ExcelLINX: an add-in, which posts test data directly to an Excel spreadsheet. Price and availability: The KPCI-3130 is available from stock for $999.00. The KPCI-3132 is available from stock for $499.00.
