1. Introduction

1.1. Portability

The LPM is one of our products designed to exceed your most demanding expectations.
Its expandable, portable and reliable configuration enhances not only the operational
performance but also addresses the most demanding business environments. LPM also
accommodates a standard size ATX motherboard, and passive backplane to fit various
technical requirements. But most importantly is that the LPM is a powerhouse that
contains dual processors that are traditionally found in bulky workstations. In fact, the LPM
comes with everything a large bulky workstation has, such as built in LCD screen for super
sharp images, built-in amplified speakers, integrated keyboard/mouse, cooling fans and
internal card stabilizer. With its rugged infrastructure, LPM is manufactured to function in
the most severe of working conditions. Furthermore, the LPM’s layout focuses on space
saving, yet it provides unsurpassed power, more than any existing compatible system.

1.2. Setup

Setting up is no hassle. LPM enables you to be up-and-running in seconds without
complicated setup. Our all-in-one design has integrated keyboard, mouse, and display into
a total package for your convenience.

1.3. LCD Display Information

The LPM has a built-in high resolution LCD screen. With our engineering advancement,
LCD can be tilted and retracted fully effortlessly. The LPM is integrated with 17” high
brightness, high contrast and fast response LCD screens, and includes glass protection or
touch screen option.

1.4. Processor Information

The LPM system has been design to allow integration of the latest system board and
either single or multi processors. See www.cyberresearch.com, or our latest catalog for
specific motherboard parings. With revolutionary performance, ultra system
responsiveness, and energy-efficiency, there is no slowing down for multiple compute
intensive programs and downloads. Available system boards install to provide the latest
precise and intensive graphic 3D rendering and image processing with exception speed
and accuracy.

1.5. Drive Configuration

The LPM has an available bay for slim for DVD-RW drive for both single and dual layer
writing capability on reading. It has 1 empty 3.5” drive bay that can be expanded further
depending on your needs, and 2 empty 5.25” drive bay to add in removable tray or I/O
interface. Whether you require speed, capacity or both; the flexibility of RAID configuration
is also available.

Product Service

Diagnosis and Debug

CyberResearch, Inc. maintains technical support lines staffed by experienced
Applications Engineers and Technicians. There is no charge to call and we will
return your call promptly if it is received while our lines are busy. Most problems
encountered with data acquisition products can be solved over the phone. Signal
connections and programming are the two most common sources of difficulty.
CyberResearch support personnel can help you solve these problems, especially
if you are prepared for the call.

To ensure your call’s overall success and expediency:

1) Have the phone close to the PC so you can conveniently and quickly take
action that the Applications Engineer might suggest.

2) Be prepared to open your PC, remove boards, report back-switch or
jumper settings, and possibly change settings before reinstalling the
modules.

3) Have a volt meter handy to take measurements of the signals you are
trying to measure as well as the signals on the board, module, or power
supply.

4) Isolate problem areas that are not working as you expected.

5) Have the source code to the program you are having trouble with available
so that preceding and prerequisite modes can be referenced and
discussed.

6) Have the manual at hand. Also have the product’s utility disks and any
other relevant disks nearby so programs and version numbers can be
checked.

Preparation will facilitate the diagnosis procedure, save you time, and avoid
repeated calls. Here are a few preliminary actions you can take before you call
which may solve some of the more common problems:

1) Check the PC-bus power and any power supply signals.

2) Check the voltage level of the signal between SIGNAL HIGH and SIGNAL
LOW, or SIGNAL+ and SIGNAL– . It CANNOT exceed the full scale range
of the board.

3) Check the other boards in your PC or modules on the network for address
and interrupt conflicts.

4) Refer to the example programs as a baseline for comparing code.
