SKY Computers expands product portfolio

FEBRUARY 28--SKY Computers (Peabody, MA; www.skycomputers.com) is broadening its military, commercial, and imaging-market solutions with the transfer of Analogic Corporation (www.analogic.com) test-and-measurement products. SKY, A supplier of standards-based, embedded high-performance computer systems, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Analogic. The test-and-measurement product line is a natural extension of the data-acquisition and image-processing solutions that SKY delivers to military and commercial customers.

The test-and-measurement product line develops and supplies high-speed automatic data acquisition digitizers and waveform generators offering high-level, graphical software for configuration and control, signal generation or analysis. The products have an extensive installed base in avionics and military/defense markets for demanding signals intelligence and digital signal processing applications.

The test-and-measurement products interface with automated systems in the VXI format, which is an extension to the VME standard and is similar to SKY's VME-based SKYchannel product line. VXI is the generally accepted interface for many commercial and most military automatic test equipment systems in use today.
