‘Single Board Computer’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release BCT extends Resolution HMI SBC options from Blue Chip Technology: "Blue Chip Technology (BCT) has followed up the launch of its Resolution HMI single-board computer kit with the release of a supporting Linux BSP and the addition of a 7in LCD module. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from SGS SA - Industrial Services - take a look at SGS offers acoustic emission testing package which says: "SGS is offering an acoustic emission testing (AET) package, which allows users to locate structural defects and to monitor the material for discontinuities.".

Take a look also at the news release from Martek Power, Martek releases compact onboard DC/DC converters, as well as IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface from IFM Electronic, and Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK).
