Tidal Engineering Corp. announces
the addition of the SBC488A to its embedded IEEE 488 product
family. This programmable single board computer (SBC) offers a
bully integrated C development environment and an IEEE 488
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) controller to provide
OEMs with flexible rapid instrument development capabilities
without the associated time and expense of developing a GPIB
controller for their products. The board is suited for a broad
range of power supply, RF test equipment and laboratory
instrument applications where IEEE 488, RS-232/RS-485 control
is required. Featuring a Zilog Z180 based processor with
speeds of 9.216 MHz or 18.432 MHz, EPROM SRAM, and EEPROM, the
SBC488A features a Real Time Clock as well as battery backup.
Measuring 6.5"× 4.0", the board's power requirement is 2 W at
7 to 24 V DC. Other peripheral modules including digital and
analog I./O, LCDs, keypads and software are offered. The
SBC488A with 32 K SRAM is priced at $395 each.
