GaGe, a worldwide leader in design and manufacture of high-performance PC-based digitizer and oscilloscope cards, has announced its new LapScope family of PCI expansion chassis for its next-generation CompuScope and CompuGen cards. LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 provide single or dual PCI expansion slots for board-level instruments such as GaGe’s next-generation digitizer cards. “Our LapScope solution, equipped with one of our high-performance digitizer cards, is the ideal portable digitizer solution for use with your laptop or to provide additional PCI slots for a desktop computer,” said Nicole Faubert, Marketing Manager for GaGe products.
Some key features of LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 PCI expansion chassis include:
· Easy Plug and Play installation
· PCI Express host card provides easy connection to desktop computers and servers, CardBus and ExpressCard modules provide connection to your favorite laptop computer
· Includes 1-meter expansion cable
· 1 or 2 slot PCI backplane
· Dedicated cooling and power for PCI cards
· Supports full-length or shorter PCI cards, including GaGe’s next-generation CompuScope and CompuGen cards
· Full-length enclosure supports cards that are 12.74” or shorter and weighs only 2.15 pounds
Offering a consistent PCI configuration that allows easy host computer upgrades, LapScope-1 is the ideal solution for adding a single PCI card to a desktop/server using a PCI Express slot, which has low latency and high PCI throughput. LapScope-2 allows you to add multiple PCI cards to mobile computers, permitting multiple expansion systems to be connected to a single computer. Both LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 are the proven method to increase PCI capability without losing performance.
Used with GaGe’s next-generation cards, which include the Cobra CompuScopes, Octopus family of multi-channel digitizers, CompuScope 14200 and CompuScope 12400, the LapScope family of PCI expansion chassis are particularly useful in applications that require extreme mobility and portability, such as aircraft testing, in-vehicle testing, and testing in remote environments where there is no access to AC power.
