Mosaic's embedded computers combined with displays and touchscreen-controlled graphical user interface (GUI) offer a low-cost solution to instrument control.
For ordering information see the detailed description of each product.
Need Networking? Consider adding an EtherSmart Wildcard to the instrument controller of your choice. The EtherSmart Wildcard enables communications between your instrument and other computers or peripherals via a Local Area Network (LAN) using the standard packet-based Ethernet signaling protocol. Simply plug a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 jack on the Wildcard, and your instrument can communicate with other computers on a Local Area Network (LAN). Your application program can send emails to alert other computers on the network when significant events occur. You can even "browse into" your instrument using a browser running on an online PC to monitor the status of your instrument.
