Maisach/Munich/Germany. Under the title "DATA ACQUISITION", BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) introduces a revised product overview of their data acquisition systems, measuring cards, data loggers and amplifier measurement systems in the field of PC-based data acquisition. In measurement technology, data acquisition (DAQ) is the area responsible for recording and processing a physical quantity (e.g. voltage, temperature, speed). The field of PC-based data acquisition uses the computer as a tool to start scans, save and analyze signal values. In this case, physical quantities are recorded directly as voltages or by means of a sensor and are conducted to a data acquisition system connected to the PC. In the data acquisition unit, the recorded signals are digitized by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), allowing for the recorded signals to be readable and utilizable by the PC. Since measurement tasks have extremely different requirements...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. With the ePCII series, BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), manufacturer for data acquisition and PC technology, introduces the second generation of embedded PC technology based on highly integrated and powerful ETX technology. It's like in a movie: A second version to be successful must feature something new and better without loosing sight of its basic characteristics. On this aspect BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) has put great emphasis on this aspect when developing the next generation ePCII as industrial PC or data logger. With the integration of an LX800 CPU in ETX standard (Embedded Technology eXtended) the processor performance of the new devices has been doubled (500MHz). At the same time the wattage is constantly low (app. 10W). Besides that, the extremely compact design could be kept: the robust aluminum housing with 110mm in width and height and 210mm length can easily be placed in tight space. Also new...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. With great success BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) presented itself at SENSOR + TEST 2008, the leading measurement fair. Their products in the range of industrial PC data acquisition and embedded PC systems aroused much interest in the trade visitors. In spite of the slight drop in the number of visitors during SENSOR + TEST 2008 from May 6 to 8, 2008 in Nuremberg there were large crowds at the booth of BMC Messsysteme GmbH. The exceptionally informative booth design caused many to stop abruptly. On large banners the concept of the measuring chain was introduced whose components are completely available at bmcm and compatible to each other. In peak times the professional visitors even accepted waiting times to experience the latest developments in the field of data acquisition systems, amplifiers systems and embedded PC technology. Especially the following bmcm products were in the spotlight: - the latest USB data acquisition...
