Instrumentation

Granite can give your product a competitive edge… and greater profitability for you and your customers.

The industrial computer market has rigid requirements for quality, stability, and consistency.  At Granite, we have developed processes and procedures to encompass these requirements.  We leverage our experience to offer the very finest, perfect-fit solutions for your Test and Data Acquisition application. Granite designs are utilized in many applications, and we are especially proud of our relationships with many large OEMs.

For years, the role of the PC in instrumentation has been on the rise.  Computer-based data acquisition can dramatically affect the maximum speeds at which you're able to continuously acquire data. Today, the fastest technologies are available in simple, standard computer-based solutions.  Granite has made portability a reality, with easily mobilized, computer-based data acquisition capabilities ever on the rise.  This application provides advantages over the traditional desktop-based data acquisition.

Your computer’s data transfer capabilities can significantly affect the performance of your data acquisition system.  All PCs are capable of programmed I/O and interrupt transfers.  DMA (direct memory access) transfers, available on virtually all computers, can increase system throughput by using dedicated hardware to transfer data directly into system memory.  DMA enables your processor to operate at a consistent speed, even while moving data, so that it can continue to engage in complex processing tasks.  Granite technologies will give your product a competitive edge and thus greater profitability for you and for your customers.

We have industrial computer solutions flexible enough to meet your application needs both today and tomorrow. Our solutions will fit your application with true simplicity, and we will maintain the exact specification long term to save you the expense of transitioning your end product.  We have a great number of successes in medical applications, and have been satisfying our OEM customer's unique design requirements since the 1980's.
