This 2" x 2.5" single board computer is perfect for space-constrained applications and dramatically cuts the cost of data acquisition and control. It is ideal for scientific instrumentation, machine automation, industrial control, robotics, and handheld data acquisiti…
The QScreen ControllerTM combines a C-programmable single-board computer with a touchscreen-operated graphical user interface. Designed as a fully-functional, compact industrial PC powered by an HC11 Motorola microprocessor, the QScreen is ideal for OEM applications where installation space is critical, such as embedded systems, scientific instruments, robotics, and portable data acquisition. The QScreen can be commanded remot…
The QVGA ControllerTM is a state-of-the-art embedded microcontroller with an advanced operator interface. It's an ideal "brain" for instruments that need a highly visible graphical user interface (GUI), touchscreen control, computational power, I/O, and serial communications - all in one compact package. Commanded remotely from a PC, or used stand-alone, it provides real-time control of dozens of analog and digital I/O lines.…
The 24/7 Data Acquisition Module, with its 7 channels of 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion, is your instrument's complete analog front end, offering exceptional resolution, stability, and noise rejection. Ideal for high resolution, low frequency measurements, this I/O module accepts low level signals directly from transducers - amplifies and conditions them - and converts them with 24 bits of resolution with no missing codes…
The Analog I/O Wildcard interfaces to any analog sensor or actuator with eight 16-bit analog inputs and eight 12-bit analog outputs. It features eight channels unipolar, single-ended or four channels unipolar, differential 16-bit resolution analog voltage inputs and eight channels of 12-bit resolution analog voltage outputs.
A "UART" is a "Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter" that converts parallel data from the host processor into a serial data stream. Communicate with serial peripherals using this dual UART. The UART Wildcard implements two full-duplex serial ports that can be configured for RS232, RS422, and RS485 protocols with data rates up to 56000 baud. Optional handshaking signals enable a modem connection for remote communicatio…
The Digital I/O Wildcard adds plenty of programmable digital I/O to any Mosaic Controller. In addition to 4 dedicated digital inputs, you can configure up to 16 more channels for either input or output. Each I/O line is also easily configured for pull-up, pull-down, or tri-state operation. This allows you to set the appropriate level of each I/O line in the interval between power-up and software initialization. Pre-coded soft…
The Keypad/Display WildcardTM provides a convenient interface to a 4 x 20 character display and 4 x 5 keypad. Combined with Mosaic's QCardTM Controller, it is an ideal solution for hand-held or space-constrained applications that require a programmable embedded computer and a low cost yet smart user interface. Measuring only 2" x 2.5", the Keypad/Display Wildcard mounts directly on the QCard. The Keypad/Display Wildcard is…
Do you need to interface high-voltage peripherals to your instrument? This heavy-duty board provides eight high-current outputs and four high-voltage digital inputs. Inputs and outputs are optically isolated to 2500 volts. The Power I/O Wildcard makes it a snap to interface high voltage peripherals to your instrumentation or automation project. This tiny 2" by 2.5" board is a member of the Wildcard series that connects to any…
The Compact Flash Wildcard is ideal for applications that require large amounts of memory, the convenience of removable storage, and file-based data exchange with a PC. The Compact Flash Wildcard allows you to plug in widely available Compact Flash memory cards that measure only 1.5" by 1.7" and hold many megabytes of nonvolatile data. Inexpensive form-factor adapters let you plug a CF Card into your laptop's PCMCIA socket fo…
The Mosaic Handheld is a new smart platform for designing a custom portable intrument. It is ideal for prototyping and manufacturing portable instruments for data logging, inventory management, data acquisition, sensor calibration, and scientific instrumentation. “When designing a new portable device, the job of integrating the battery charger, switching power supplies, user interface, embedded computer and board-to-board int…
