AUTOCALIBRATIONFORBEST
MEASUREMENTACCURACY
Diamond Systems’ top‐performing autocalibration
circuitry enables you to calibrate the analog circuits
under software control at any time, maintaining best
accuracy under any conditions.Temperature and time
dependent measurement drift is eliminated, as the SBC
canbecalibratedasoftenasdesiredinjustafewseconds
to ensure
accurate readings in all environmental
conditions.
THERMALMANAGEMEN

Neptune placesthe processoron thebottom side ofthe
baseboard.An integrated heat spreader makes thermal
contactwiththeheatgeneratingcomponentsontheETX
CPU module and provides a flat surface on the bottom
side formating to the system enclosure.This technique
provides for efficient removal of heat
