PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Xpert data acquisition platform is based on a 32 bit microprocessor, the Microsoft Windows
CE operated system, and a touch-sensitive graphical display (optional). The Xpert comes in two
models: one with a touch screen and one without a touch screen. Sensors are added to the system
via the SDI-12 port or via I/O modules that plug into the I
2
C port. For data retrieval, the Xpert
comes with up to four serial ports for connection to satellite, modem, a PC, the Internet, etc. In
addition, every unit comes with a minimum thirty-two megabytes of flash disk for data and
program storage and thirty-two megabytes of RAM for program execution. All units support
expanding storage up to 2GB via the SD card slot. All inputs to the systems can be found at the
bottom side of the unit, as shown below. The Xpert requires power from an external battery of
9.5-16 VDC.
All the functionality in the Xpert can be accessed through the touch screen of the device. The
screen can be activated either with the special stylus that came with the system or with a finger.
All the operations necessary to operate the unit can be done via the graphical interface on the
touch screen. For units without a touch screen, the windows based program Xterm.exe provides
the necessary screens for operation.
