A CPU card is a printed circuit board PCB that contains the central processing unit CPU of a computer. CPU cards are specified by CPU clock frequency and bus type as well as other features and applications built in to the card. CPU cards include peripheral component interconnect PCI cards, modular PC Card s, Industry Standard Architecture ISA cards, PCI extensions for instrumentation PXI cards, ETX form factor embedded technology extended ETX cards, and many others. CPU cards are often used to expand the memory, speed, bandwidth, or embedded applications of an existing computer system. PC cards are typically used to expand a system s embedded applications. PC cards include modules for audio and video applications, data communications, and embedded storage. PXI cards are used for data acquisition and control systems, making them suitable for real time measurement applications. ETX cards are used in industrial applications to augment a computer system s embedded applications. ETX cards contain all the functionality necessary to run the PC in a compact space. CPU cards that are used to augment existing computer backplanes typically have ISA or PCI connectors, and can be plugged into the backplane without any additional configuration. CPU cards for use in computer backplanes are typically half sized. The CPU card contains the PC functionality and communicates with the other cards plugged into the backplane through a computer bus. CPU cards may also be called expansion cards or expansion boards, and offer a variety of embedded applications from modems and wireless networking to graphics and video controllers to RAID controllers.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Flight test instrumentation FTI is monitoring and recording equipment fitted to aircraft during flight test . It is mainly used on experimental aircraft , prototype aircraft and development aircraft both military and civil, and can monitor various parameters from the temperatures of specific components to the speed of the engines. This may be displayed in the cockpit or cabin to allow the aircrew to monitor the aircraft in flight, and is usually recorded to allow the data to be analysed later. FTI typically monitors between 10 and 120000 parameters for example temperatures inside the cargo and pressure distribution along the wing. FTI sources could be temperature sensors, pressure probes, voltages, current transducers, potentiometers, strain gauges, aircraft data bus es or cameras. These sensors may be digitalized and acquired by the data acquisition system. A cockpit audio recording may also be included. A telemetry transmitter may be added to the FTI to allow real time monitoring of the tests from a ground station.

Refimprove date February 2007 Instrument control consists of connecting a desktop instrument to a computer and taking measurements. History In the late 1960s the first bus used for communication was developed by Hewlett Packard and was called HP IB Hewlett Packard Interface Bus . Since HP IB was originally designed to only work with HP instruments, the need arose for a standard, high speed interface for communication between instruments and controllers from a variety of vendors. This need was addressed in 1975 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers IEEE published ANSI IEEE Standard 488 1975, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation, which contained the electrical, mechanical, and functional specifications of an interfacing system. This bus is known by three different names, General Purpose Interface Bus GPIB , Hewlett Packard Interface Bus HP IB , and IEEE 488 Bus, and is used worldwide. Today, there are several other buses in addition to the GPIB that can be used for instrument control. These include Ethernet , USB , Serial communications Serial , Peripheral Component Interconnect PCI , and PXI . Software In addition to the hardware bus to control an instrument, software for the personal computer PC is also needed. Virtual Instrument Software Architecture , or VISA, was developed by the VME eXtensions for Instrumentation VXI plug and play Systems Alliance as a specification for I O software. VISA was a step toward industry wide software compatibility. The VISA specification defines a software standard for VXI, and for GPIB, serial, Ethernet and other interfaces. More than 35 of the largest instrumentation companies in the industry endorse VISA as the standard. The alliance created distinct frameworks by grouping the most popular operating systems, application development environments, and programming language s and defined in depth specifications to guarantee interoperability of components within each framework.
