E1 AGP-R7000 CPU Extension
The AGP-R7000 is an Inova AGP 4x ATI Radeon-based graphic extension for use with the ICP-P4,
ICP-P4(M), ICP-PM and ICP-CM CPUs. By utilizing the power of the ATI Radeon 7000 equipped
with 32MByte of SDRAM, a graphic performance improvement of some 50%
1.)
can be expected
when compared to the on board (chipset) solution. Able to drive analog VGA or PanelLink com-
patible monitors directly or connect to the IBP-GS-MULTILINK GigaST
Ȣ
R transmitter with CAN
routing for long-distance digital data transfer, the AGP-R7000 suits the demands of modern indus-
trial (automation engineering) applications.
It is fabricated in 2 basic versions: Analog VGA or digital DVI-D (TMDS). Connectors J1, J3 and J5
are explained later in this section.
Table E1.00 AGP Piggyback Configurations
1.) OpenGL applications performed 83% faster with the AGP piggyback installed and memory efficiency increased by 14%
Note
The front and/or rear connected display
devices may be configured to show the
same or different (independent) video
content to TFT units by configuring the
driver software.
With the AGP installed, the onboard
(chipset) graphic is disabled.
Options 2 and 5 are preferred (standard).
Option 3, although possible, should only
be selected if CRT 1 is permanently
connected.
