‘Hardware Verification’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Load board that assesses cooling systems from Elma Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Elma UK, a manufacturer of high-performance backplanes, has announced a new 6U VPX Load Board in a conduction-cooled format, to help test a system's cooling capabilities and to locate its hotspots.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release System host board for energy and medical sectors from Kontron: "Kontron has introduced the PICMG 1.3 system host PCI-761, a slot-card-sized industrial server board equipped with the Intel Q57 Express chipset for asynchronous real-time applications.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Tektronix - take a look at Tektronix offers architecture for PCI Express 3.0 which says: "Tektronix has announced an addition to what it claims is the industry's most comprehensive solution for PCI Express 3.0.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Stemmer Imaging, FPGA-based frame grabbers for image acquisition, as well as PCE-5125 board ideal for industrial applications from Advantech, and Driver boards allow easy upgrade to LED lighting from Endicott Research.
