Pickering Interfaces Introduces new 50-297 PCI Precision Resistor Card

Clacton on Sea, UK, March 2009,

-Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of precision resistor modules with the introduction of a PCI based Precision Resistor card.

Model 50-297 is a high density resistor simulator with a broad resistance range and high channel count which provides similar functionality to Pickering Interfaces well established 40-297 PXI solution. It is available in 3 standard configurations having resistance ranges of 1Ω to 230Ω, 2Ω to 13.5kΩ and 3Ω to 1.5MΩ with 18, 9 and 6 channels respectively. The 6 channel version has a setting resolution of 0.125Ω.

All versions have software interfaces for all popular programming environments based on simple resistance calls for each channel, allowing users to just request the resistance value required. The modules include calibration data that enables the driver to select the nearest value of resistance available.

David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces commented "These resistor modules are part of our expanding range of resistor simulation solutions. The availability of a solution in PCI allows users to select a high performance solution for applications best served by embedding the resistor simulator in a PC. The use of simple resistance calls for control greatly simplifies the user's task in simulating resistors accurately regardless of which version is chosen."
