Maisach/Munich/Germany. With the PCIe-BASE, BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) is one of the first few manufacturers of measurement technology to come out with a competitive data acquisition card for the PCI Express interface. PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), "PCIe " for short, is a PC interface allowing for the communication of peripheral components with the master processor of the PC. In the long term, PCIe will replace the PCI slots in the PC. Being one of the first manufacturers in the field of PC measurement, BMC Messsysteme GmbH provides a solution for the acquisition of measurement data via PCIe by developing a PCIe data acquisition card in latest technology. (--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-pcie-base.html ) Like the previous model, the PCI multi-function card PCI-BASE1000, the PCIe-BASE features a modular concept providing enormous flexibility. Optimized to the respective measurement application, data acquisition...

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. BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), manufacturer for innovative measurement technology "made in Germany", extends the product range of 5B compatible AMS amplifier systems by the AMS84 series in 19'' format. The 19'' amplifier rack AMS84 is excellent for installing in test systems. 16 slots to accommodate 5B modules are provided. With the optional add-on AMS-EXT8 this number can be extended by a package of 8 channels to maximum 32 channels. Because of the wide range of available 5B measuring amplifiers and converters the most different measurement applications can be realized with the AMS84. ( --> http://www.bmcm.de/us/prgr-measamp.html ) In addition, the integrated 5B technology provides for galvanic isolation of the sampled signals from each other as well as from the power supply (9-45V) and from the connected data acquisition system. The isolation protects the measurement set-up against...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. An absolutely brilliant and unique idea has been launched by BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), longtime manufacturer for innovative measurement technology "made in Germany". The analog USB measuring system USB-AD and the digital I/O interface USB-PIO have been compressed extremely and integrated into a Sub-D connector housing. What some might consider as an incomplete delivery is the real clou: Customers, who order a USB device at bmcm for analog or digital measurement data acquisition, receive a red USB cable with an attached 25- or 37-pole Sub-D connector. That's supposed to be all? No, of course not! A "Software...
