The SGD 43-A is the first in a range of PanelPilotACE compatible displays and panel meters. The low-profile display 
features a 4.3” capacitive touch screen and an ARM Cortex A9 processor running embedded Linux. The display can be 
powered from either USB or a 5 to 30V d.c. supply and offers users a wealth of hardware interfaces which include four 
16bit bi-polar analogue inputs (to a maximum of ±40V d.c.), eight digital input/output pins, two alarm outputs (maximum 
current sink 10mA) and four 8bit PWM outputs. 

Users program the display using the free PanelPilotACE Design Studio software which allows the creation of anything from 
simple meters and dials, through to advanced user interfaces with control elements.

SGD 43-A is a 4.3” capacitive touch display designed for use with

PanelPilotACE Design Studio, a free drag-and-drop style software package 

for rapid development of advanced user

interfaces and panel meters.
