The Altinex CP451-008 touch screen controller is ideal for a great many applications including multimedia control systems, general computing, real-time data terminals, etc. Each controller runs an embedded Windows® XP operating system.

The CP451-008 senses “touch” from a finger, stylus, pen, pencil, gloved finger, or other tool. The touch screen is very accurate and responsive to one’s touch. The CP451-008 incorporates effortlessly into PC based control systems.

Since the CP451-008 can run on battery power, most setups use the WLAN feature. For added flexibility, consider the ALTINEX AC301-201 TCP/IP to RS-232 Adapter. This adapter enables RS 232 communication through a standard LAN connection. Place the AC301-201 on an RS-232 controlled device and then connect it to a wireless router for an instant wireless network.

The AC301-201 has both serial (DB9) and network (RJ-45) connections. The AC301-201 connects to a serial device using its DB9 connection, and to the LAN using standard network cable. AVSnap, HyperTerminal, or other RS-232 communication software can then be used to control the serial device using the IP address of the adapter in place of the COM port. In this way, a single controller can be used to control any number of serial devices using their unique IP address.

The Bluetooth module inside each CP451-008 is compatible with most peripheral devices like headsets, barcode readers, printers, cell phones, and more.

The CP451-008 is small, lightweight, and powerful. It can easily be carried from room to room and used to control several devices on one or more wireless networks.

AVSnap is preinstalled on each CP451-008, making it easy to integrate into any control environment. AVSnap provides a complete environment for designing simple to sophisticated graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Design high-quality GUIs with minimum effort by way of user-friendly toolbars for buttons, volume controls, progress bars, and much more. AVSnap incorporates a simple programming language with an organized interface that makes even complex programming code easy to read and maintain.

Everything needed to start is included in a sample application. Use the predefined procedures and functions to communicate with devices over the WLAN, or create your own custom subroutines. If you can program Crestron or AMX, you can program AVSnap.

The EWF prevents changes to the internal drive without specific intent and access. This protects the BIOS and operating system files from becoming corrupt due to power outages or other power interruptions.

The CP451-008 ships with the included AC404-101 docking cradle and AC404-102 desktop stand. The AC404-101 docking cradle includes 2 USB ports, an Ethernet/LAN (RJ-45) port, and an input for DC power. The USB and LAN ports make the cradle an ideal base station that allows for a permanent LAN connection as well as inputs for a USB keyboard and mouse. When not in use, the CP451-008 can be placed back on the cradle for charging. The AC404-102 desktop stand is a convenient resting point for the CP451-008 when it is used as a wireless (WLAN) controller. It does not, however, provide power.
