Thanks, see my other response on this thread, please.
Could you explain what you mean by fatser I/O interface? Do you mean
faster scan times for a given number of points? More points per
interface? We have run inot some limits in the use of Integrator 30's,
amd it appears to me that the AB Station should be a much higher
preformance interface, given that it's a mre powerfull processor and
directly connected to the processor.
By higher preformance, I mean faster scan times for a given number of
points, and ability to support a greater quantity of points.
We would be dealing primarliy with digital points here.
