Product Description |
![]() |
The M78 is based on the M-Module ANSI mezzanine
standard. It can be used as an I/O extension in any type of bus system, i.e.
CPCI, PXI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC. Appropriate M-Module
carrier cards in 3U, 6U and other formats are available from MEN or other
manufacturers. |
