FAQs
What is the difference between a Capacitive and Resistive touchscreen?
Go to our article on Choosing the Best Touchscreen for Your Needs.
What is the difference between normal LCD and sunlight readable display?
Sunlight readable LCD monitors is a very high brightness LCD Monitor that is a viewable in daylight and other bright light conditions, they are typically 1000 nits or above.
Will an atom processor run XP pro?
Yes, We would recommend that you use at least 1GB of RAM as a minimum.
How does the Atom compare to Celeron 1 gig?
In tests the atom is well matched to the Celeron-1GHz supporting the view that this is an embedded processor rather than a home PC processor.
How many millimetres are there in a 1 u rack height/space?
1 Rack unit = 44.45 millimetres.
What's the difference between reset mode and interrupt mode of watchdog?
Reset ---- Generates reset signal and system reboot.
Interrupt ---- Generates interrupt. As to which IRQ is generated, it depends on your configuration.
What is PICMG?
PICMG means PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group. PICMG is a consortium of over 450 companies that collaboratively develop open specifications for high performance telecommunications and industrial computing applications. PICMG's purpose is to offer equipment vendors common specifications, thereby increasing availability and reducing cost and time-to-market.
Why the change to LED backlit TFT's on Panel PC's?
LED backlights have a number of advantages over CCFL's:
- No warm-up time, LED backlights are instantly on even at low temperature
- High voltage inverter not needed
- Improved EMI performance
- Lower Power consumption compares to CCFL backlights
- Larger dimming ratio is achieved
- No Mercury, environmental friendly
Does the PICMG 1.3 specification provide support for PCI Express Gen 2 products and can a PCI Express serial communication link support multiple PCI Express card slots like a PCI or PCI-X parallel bus?
Provisions have been worked into the specification that allows the PICMG 1.3 SHBs and backplanes to support both PCI Express Gen 1 and Gen 2 hardware.
Remember that PCI Express is a point-to-point, high speed and scalable bandwidth serial communication interface and as such cannot support multiple card slot interfaces without some help. While the chipsets support multiple PCI Express links that can be routed to a PICMG 1.3 backplane to support a number of PCI Express option card slots, PCI Express fan-out switches or simply PCIe switches are also commonplace in many backplane designs.
A PCI Express fan out switch takes an incoming PCI Express link and produces multiple PCI Express links. The basic function of a PCIe switch is similar to that of a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip in that the PCIe switch enables support for multiple PCI Express option card backplane slots.
