The Lascar SGD 43-A is a 4.3 inch Capacitive Touch Display designed for use with PanelPilotACE Design Studio, and the first in a range of PanelPilotACE compatible displays and panel meters. The low-profile display features a 4.3 inch capacitive touch-screen and a Cortex ARM 9 processor running embedded Linux. The display can be powered from either USB or a 5 to 30V DC supply and offers users a wealth of hardware interfaces which include four 16-bit bi-polar analogue inputs (to a maximum of ±40V DC), eight digital input/output pins, two alarm outputs (maximum current sink 10mA) and four PWM outputs.
The design software provides a number of building blocks which allow users to drag-and-drop elements onto the screen to quickly create advanced user interfaces. From background images to text elements, analogue style meters, touch-screen navigation elements and even complex logic statements, users can build up multi-screen interfaces without needing to write a line of code.
There is a library of pre-defined elements such as meters, buttons and switches, and users can create their own content by combining elements or importing graphics in a number of formats (including jpg, png, tif, bmp and gif). The software includes support for transparency and multiple-layers.
The FREE to download PanelPilotACE Design Studio software (http://www.panelpilot.com/software) comes with a library of pre-defined elements, but users can also create or import their own elements to allow plenty of scope for creativity - enabling the display to be tailored for almost any industrial or commercial application.
