Alligator Technologies, a supplier of data acquisition and sensor
signal conditioning equipment, has introduced an expansion to its line
of signal conditioning modules, the SCS-818. A high-performance
amplifier and 4-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the SCS-818 8-channel
module features a custom uni-polar to bi-polar output stage that can
drive analog measurement and control signals greater than 50 meters,
more than twice the distance for typical A/D and D/As, providing better
measurement and control for electrically noisy real-time environments
and data acquisition. With a combination of both signal amplification and filtering, the SCS-818 lets users reduce the number of controllers
and position them up to 50 meters from the analog signals and
measurements, twice the normal distance, while increasing signal
performance. Circle #251
