Medical
Specialists in development, production,
research, calibration and service the
world over rely on the accuracy of their
various measurement instruments.
Kontron offers cost-effective board
level solutions for any testing system:
from an instrument for the service shop
through to complex test equipment for
the electronics lab.
The signal generators are at home in
both the digital and the analog worlds,
from DC well up into the microwave
range. We thus provide the basis for
our customers to play leading roles on
the market through high quality and
competitive prices.
Open test platforms
One of the leading German manufacturers
of test systems for the communications
industry relies on innovative Kontron
computers in its new high-tech family
of modular universal testers that are
used in testing antenna systems among
other applications. These test systems
are unique in the market place, and
are characterized by high flexibility
and ease of operation. As the control
elements are subject to 24 hour con-
tinuous operation in mass manufac-
turing, all of the tester modules must
be front accessible and swappable;
highly scalable computer performance is
essential. With this criteria in mind, the
customer opted for rugged CompactPCI
computers.

Telematics is a vibrant growth market
in which Kontron modules have been
building an impressive track record for
decades. They are driving the operation
of mobile, battery-based applications.
Our ready to switch on standard
systems, board level products and full
custom designs build an excellent base
which can be used to realize almost any
possible in-vehicle application. Kontron
combines more than 15 years' presence
in the telematic and transportation
sector with a vast engineering exper-
tise in Intel
® XScale, x86 and other CPU
designs. Our solutions are engineered,
certified and optimized for reliable
operation under the demanding con-
ditions of the automotive environment.
In-Car-PC
In the constant endeavour to trim
transport and logistics costs and
optimize routes, more and more
logistics companies are relying on fleet
management systems based on Kontron
customized board developments for
their trucks. These computers must be
compact, shock and vibration resistant
and capable of coping with a wide
range of ambient temperatures. Due to
battery powered operation, low power
consumption is also an essential aspect.
Kontron’s customized solutions are very
cost efficient, as they are based on
standard developments.

Transportation
The Kontron Transportation (KTR)
division was founded more than 15 years
ago in Belgium and has built up a
wealth of experience in developing,
certifying and manufacturing real-
time embedded systems for the trans-
portation market. COTS (Commercial
Off The Shelf) products, and semi and
full custom designs, are successfully
used with a focus on time-to-market
reduction. KTR works with selected
partners to ensure that standards
(ISO9001, EN50155, Mil-Std, etc.) are
strictly adhered to and organizes regular
audit checks to assure the quality of all
parts.
Train Management System
A leading train manufacturer builds its
Train Management Systems (TMS) on
Kontron’s reliable hardware. The E²Brain,
a computer on module, is the "RISC-
Processor Heart” of Kontron’s EN50155
certified GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Through the GUI, maintenance personnel
and train engineers access the Train
Management System. The TMS is based on
Kontron’s reliable CPCI and VME techno-
logy and runs under Linux. The fact that
KTR developed the Train Management
System for these regional trains allows
the customer to concentrate on the
integration of his specific application.

In the medical technology area, embed-
ded computer systems by Kontron are
successfully employed in an extremely
wide range of applications and types
of equipment. Compact, menu-operated
dialysis equipment, for example, is
controlled by way of EC modules and
tailored carrier boards. Mobile and
stationary ultrasonic equipment for
pregnancy checkups is fitted with
Kontron control elements, as is state
of the art medical technology in the
mammography and mobile cardiology
fields.
Clinical Workstation
The Clinical Workstation is one of the
most advanced medical PC systems on
the market. Approved and certified
to operate as a data-collector in the
operating theatre, this machine is con-
nected to several technical devices and
records all steps and events that take
place during surgery. The powerful
Intel
® Pentium ® M ETX-PM Module from
Kontron allows it to handle several real
time data connections simultaneously.
It carries a high resolution graphical
user interface. The system operates
without a fan in a fully closed chassis.
It is extremely shallow (85 mm) and
waterproof (IP65 rating).
Ultrasound System
The latest generation of ultrasound
systems is based on Kontron PCI 951
technology and it is in use, imaging
more than 15 million women each year.
Thousands of articles and studies attest
to the clinical effi cacy of these indus-
try-leading imaging technologies. With
Kontron’s customized Intel
® Pentium ® 4
based PCI951 running under Linux, the
world‘s fi rst and only system capable of
true volume ultrasound has arrived. This
powerful system enables real-time acqisi-
tion, navigation and analysis of images,
so clinical decisions can be made with
unprecedented
confi dence.
