Single board computers (SBC) serve as the motherboard for instrumentation systems including modern PCs. SBCs are composed of a microprocessor, memory chip, and serial and parallel interfaces to communicate with other devices.

Processor / CPU Type: Intel386 Family | Intel486^TM Family | Intel® Pentium® II | Intel® Pentium® III

Magnifiers are inspection instruments that are used to magnify a product or part detail via a lens system.

Bus adapters connect peripherals to computers that do not provide native support for a peripheral's interface. Some bus adapters are housed in cables that connect one bus to another. Others are board-level cards, blades, or stand-alone units with interfaces and power supplies.

PCI products are devices that use the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus standard. PCI products include bridges, extenders, and power supplies. They also include bus interface, adapter, memory, mass storage, networking, and serial communications modules.

Notebook and laptop computers are portable computers that usually feature integral keyboards and monitors.

Frame grabbers are image processing computer boards that capture and store image data for industrial applications such as quality control.

Desktop personal computers (PCs) are small, relatively inexpensive computers that are designed for individual users. Typically, these devices include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals.

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have a different architecture than SPLDs and CPLDs, and typically offer higher capacities. FPGAs are also known as logic cell arrays (LCA) and programmable ASIC (pASIC).

RF frequency multipliers are nonlinear devices that produce an output signal with a frequency that is larger than the frequency of a corresponding input signal by a predetermined factor.

Computer workstations are client computers that connect to a network and share data with other machines. They are used in applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), graphic design, software development, medical imaging, and point of sale (POS) systems.

Interferometers measure distance in terms of wavelength and determine the wavelengths of light sources.

Video, audio, and multimedia chips are IC chips designed for video, audio, and multimedia applications.

Industrial backplanes are circuit boards that contain sockets or expansion slots for connections to other circuit boards. There two types of industrial backplanes: active and passive.

Industrial chassis and card cages are metal frames that support and contain electronic components and power supplies. They generally have a backplane with slots to install other peripherals and accessories.
