Munich, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/03/2008 -- Maisach/Munich/Germany. BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), long-time manufacturer of measurement technology, proudly presents the PCI multi-function data acquisition card with a highly integrated and modular concept at an unbeatable price which allows the user to tackle any measuring task by assembling his individual measuring card.

The brilliant idea of the PCI-BASE1000 is its modularity providing an enormous flexibility. With the selection of suitable data aqcuisition modules to equip the two module slots of the PCI-BASE1000 the customer decides about performance and price of his measurement system and is able to optimize the price-performance-ratio.

The PCI-BASE1000 baseboard features 16 digital inputs and outputs each which means that the base board is a digital I/O card itself.

The analog input and output modules sample with a different resolution and sampling rate within the selectable measuring range of +/-1V, +/-2V, +/-5V or +/-10V.

For example, the PCI-BASE1000 combined with two 16-bit input modules MAD16f records high-frequency analog signals with an overall sampling rate of up to 1 MHz. The switch-over from one measuring range to another can be defined for each channel separately and does not influence the sampling rate.
(--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-mad.html)

Particularly interesting for the automotive sector is a CAN module allowing scans with 1MBit transmission rate via two electrically isolating channels, especially as these can be recorded synchronously in time to analog channels. The measured data can simultaneously be displayed and stored on the hard disk.
(--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-mcan.html)

All modules can be used in any combination, so that the customer gets his individual data acquisition system specially adapted to the measurement application.

Because of extremely short latencies in data acquisition the PCI-BASE1000 is especially suitable for single value measurements.

Besides that, the PCI-BASE1000 can be synchronized, so that several installed measuring cards use the same time reference.

The acquisition of measurement data via a PCI data acuisition card integrated in a PC is recommended in particular for stationary applications. The advantage of internal fixed installation is that you can do without any interfering cables for a data acquisition system and power supply.

The entire software for installing and programming (ActiveX controls) the PCI measuring card is available for free on the provided "Software Collection" CD.

The Plug&Play ability of the PCI-BASE1000 guarantees a simple installation, because the board will be recognized right away when turning on the PC.

With NextView®, the professional software for measurement data acquisition and analysis, a perfect complement is available. To show signals and test the functional range of the PCI-BASE1000 measuring card the version NextView®4 Live! is included with delivery for free use.

With the support of the ARINC429 interface the professional measuring software NextView®4 of BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) makes data acquisition via the ARINC429 system bus possible, synchronously to other recorded analog signals.

Munich, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/10/2007 -- ARINC429, a generally accepted standard of the ARINC (Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated) company, is a communication protocol in avionics. Via the ARINC429 system bus measuring data of different aeronautical systems, like engine control or fly-by-wire systems, can be related with each other.

The ARINC429 interface has already been supported in previous versions of NextView®, the software for measuring data acquisition and analysis. For instance NextView® was successfully used for load tests in the newly developed zeppelin NT. The flight data of the airship were recorded synchrously. Relating these data to the analog measuring values allowed for a precise analysis.
(--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/prac-app-net.html#AN1003)

With the optionally available driver package NV4-DP (--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-nv4-dp.html) of the latest version 4.2 of NextView®4 you can now install a A429-USB device (TechSAT GmbH) to display aeronautical data in real-time at a standard PC under Windows®.

Bavaria, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/22/2007 -- BMC Messsysteme GmbH, manufacturer of innovative measurement technology "made in Germany", extends her product range in the sensor area by digital sensors.

Measurement technology deals with the acquisition of physical quantities, like temperature, distances or speed, for example. Nowadays in industry it is an integral part of all development, manufacturing and optimization processes and is applied in the most different areas.

Often measurements, monitoring and tests have to be conducted by staff with little or no relation to measurement technology. From experience the selection of the adequate sensor is the highest hurdle:

• Which sensor is suitable?
• Is the sensor accuracy sufficient to provide reliable results?
• Which ranges have to be measured?
• How is the sensor connected?
• Is amplifier technology required?
• Is the measurement system compatible?

These and other questions often turn up in this context.

On this account the BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) has assorted a range of various analog and - now brand-new! - digital sensors to record, monitor and control the most different physical variables.

Unlike analog sensors digital sensors do not provide an absolute voltage value, but always the information of a switching status "high" (1) or "low" (0), which changes when exceeding a threshold level.
Examples for digital sensors amongst others are light barriers, temperature, motion or position switches.

The sensors SD-xxx (--> http://bmcm.local/us/prgr-sensor.html#digital ) available at bmcm are characterized by easy and reasonably-priced applicability. They are particularly suitable for the connection in the 5V range, but can also be used in other ranges. Connecting examples are included with delivery.

"From sensor to software" is the motto of BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) since years. With product groups compatible to each other measurement applications are implemented from A to Z. The digital sensors are an additional link of this measurement chain. Additional supply in the sensor area is in preparation.

The latest version of the digital I/O interface USB-PIO from BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) impresses by its extremely small size and price.

Bavaria, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/14/2007 -- Since the release of the first PIO measuring card in 1995 the digital measuring system always enjoys great popularity at a large clientele and is used for the most different applications (see http://www.bmcm.eu/us/prac-applications.html).

Adjusted to the technical requirements of today's PCs in addition to the internal ISA slot card an external version with USB interface was developed over the years.

The up-to-date model of the digital I/O interface USB-PIO was compressed extremely and basically consists of a 25-pole Sub-D female connector with USB connection cable. Hard to believe: the actual measuring system is placed within the Sub-D casing (see http://www.usb-pio.de)!

Because of the compact design the USB-PIO is particularly suitable for mobile use. Connected with a laptop, up to 24 digital inputs or outputs are available right away without any complex measurement set-up being necessary. If more channels are required, simply several USB-PIO devices can be attached.

The USB-PIO is freely programmable under Windows®, Mac OS X, Free BSD and Linux.

With NextView®4 Live!, the easy to operate online version of the professional software for measurement data acquisition and analysis, the received digital signals are displayed directly on the PC screen (see http://www.bmcm.eu/us/pr-nv4-live.html). The software is included for free with the delivery of the USB-PIO!

The USB-PIO stands for attractive and modern measurement technology at a reasonable price "made in Germany" by BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm).

Bavaria, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/05/2007 -- With the electrically isolated optocoupler boards OI16, OI16-PC and OI104 from BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) digital signals can be received or set without interferences.

If there is no electro-conductive contact between two circuits, we are talking about galvanic or electrical isolation. Amongst others it is required for safety reasons, to separate potentials or to prevent hum loops as well as electromagnetic interferences.

If galvanic isolation is accomplished by optocouplers, digital signals can be transmitted fast and without interferences in an optical way.

The OI optocoupler boards from BMC Messsysteme GmbH provide 16 digital inputs as well as 16 digital outputs at a Sub-D37 connector electrically isolated from the connected measuring system (--> http://www.bmcm.eu/us/pr-oi.html).

Customized to a great variety of requirements these have been developed in different versions: the internal version (OI16-PC) is connected to a PC measuring card, the PC/104 type (OI104) is integrated in a PC/104 system.

Especially to mention is the external version OI16 with DIN rail carrier. It has been optimized for connecting the digital I/O interface USB-PIO (--> http://www.usb-pio.de). The digital measurement system used by a large range of customers, which itself has the size and form of a Sub-D connector, can be plugged directly to the OI16 via a Sub-D25 connector. Is there an easier way?

The OI optocoupler boards from BMC Messsysteme GmbH are an example for how standards in measurement technology can be realized in a simple, direct and practical way.

Bavaria, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/31/2007 -- BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) extends the range of MAL measuring amplifiers by the measurement converters MAL-FU (frequency to voltage) and MAL-U2I (voltage to current).

In measurement technology measuring amplifiers and converters are used for the amplification, filtering, linearization and conversion of an electric variable. In this context we also talk about signal conditioning, which often makes a scanned signal only then utilizable.

They almost look like the famous Danish building bricks for children, and regarding compatibility and multi-functionality they are inferior in nothing. The tiny red MAL miniature measuring amplifiers and modules from BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) have the size and form of a 24-pole DIL IC. Relating to size and pin assignment they are compatible to other manufacturers.

MAL modules are available in different versions, which can be used in any combination with each other. They undertake the acquisition and conditioning of physical quantities like voltage, current, PT100, PT1000, strain gauge, thermocouple, and resistance or the galvanic isolation of signals. With this modular conception an individual measurement system can be set up.

http://www.bmcm.eu/us/prgr-measamp.html#miniature

The series of the bmcm MAL modules is now supplemented by two additional measurement converters:

Particularly interesting for rotational speed measurements is the electrically isolating frequency/voltage converter MAL-FU for the frequency ranges 100Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz.

Especially to prevent voltage drops in case of long cables the MAL-U2I can be used. It converts voltage signals in the 5V or 10V measuring range into a proportional current signal (0-20mA).

For the comfortable connection of the MAL modules BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) offers carrier boards (backplanes) in different size for external or internal use in the PC.
