CR9000X

Modular Measurement and Control System

The CR9000X is a modular, multiprocessor system that provides precision measurement capabilities in a rugged battery-operated package.

The CR9000X consists of a base system and a chassis with I/O module slots that accepts up to nine user-selected modules. A compact version of the CR9000X is available as the CR9000XC, which accepts up to five user-selected modules. The CR9000X has a powerful instruction set that supports measurement of most sensor types, on-board processing, data reduction, and intelligent control.
