National Instruments is introducing the NI PMA-1115 portable touchscreen monitor with integrated keyboard that attaches to any NI eight-slot PXI or PXI Express chassis.
When used with a new or existing PXI chassis, this accessory is suitable for a variety of portable PXI applications, such as in-vehicle test, mobile diagnostics and personal ATE in the automotive, ATE and aerospace and defence industries.
Richard van der Weide states: “PXI was the natural choice for the Goalkeeper application within the Royal Dutch Navy. The portable monitor and keyboard accessory provided us with the portability and flexibility we needed to equip our entire fleet with a dependable NI Labview and PXI-based solution. Our naval engineers and technicians are very satisfied with the ease-of-use and performance of the NI FPGA PXI-based systems.”
The PMA-1115 is designed for quick field or lab installation and offers a 15-inch touchscreen LCD with tilt features for maximum usability. It has a 0-55 degrees C operating temperature range and weighs approximately 4.5kg. The monitor and keyboard I/O connects to the PXI chassis through a USB interface and the portable frame mounts in existing rack mount holes on the chassis. It also includes a carrying handle and feet for easy portability.
