All Sympatec's particle sizing sensors are controlled and operated by a standard professional PC. As Sympatec follows a system test strategy, the PC and its peripherals are included in the final tests of any particle sizing system.

The PCs listed below have been extensively tested and support the integration of Sympatec's high speed interface boards PCI-FOL (HELOS, MYTOS, QICPIC, NANOPHOX, OPUS) and/or the 1.25 Gbit-Interface PCI-HOL (QICPIC, NANOPHOX) in combination with the latest WINDOX software.

1 As an option, these workstations can be equipped with a second Quad Core Xeon Processor.

These dual-core, quad-core and dual quad-core workstations reduce the calculation time for QICPIC evaluations significantly.

Sympatec reserves the right to supply an equivalent or better specified computer of the same supplier.
More powerful computers of these vendors are available on request.

Interface Boards

Interface boards are used for the communication of the particles sizing sensor with the PC.

Since 1989 Sympatec is using fibre optical links for the control of the sensors, avoiding any electromagnetic interference of the sensitive instrumentation from a PC (e.g. connected to a network).

PCI-FOL, PCI fibre optical interface

PCI-FOL, PCI fibre optical interface,
1 channel, PCI bus, RS485/422 interface, halve or full height

PCI-HOL, 1.25 Gbit  interface

PCI-HOL, 1.25 Gbit interface,
PCI bus, bus master, halve or full height: For high speed transmission of images and counts (QICPIC and NANOPHOX)

USB2-FOL, USB fibre optical interface

USB2-FOL, USB fibre optical interface,
1 channel, USB 1.1 and 2.0 compliant, for WINDOWS 2000/XP, suited for medium speed applications of HELOS, MYTOS, OPUS
