KineticSystems Profile

-
Since 1970, KineticSystems has provided high-performance data acquisition products and services for a variety of applications worldwide. For more than 35 years, we have built a reputation for superior quality and support of our products and customers. This capability was, in large part, due to our philosophy of being a manufacturer, as well as, designer of our product lines. In today's environment of outsourcing, we believe this to be a significant competitive advantage.
We continue to modernize and advance our facilities and manufacturing capabilities in order to keep pace with the fast-moving technology within the data acquisition industry and to ensure our superior customer support.
KineticSystems Today
KineticSystems is a brand of DynamicSignals LLC. Our headquarters and factory facilities in Lockport, Illinois, have grown to 70,000 square feet. Our products are availalbe throughout the world, and we have a worldwide distribution network. We have expanded our product offering to include a complete line of PXI modules, and we continue to support our VXI and CAMAC products.
Today, an increasing number of customers are demanding the delivery of data acquisition and control solutions, not just products. For many years we have been providing software drivers for our products to make them easier to use. We have introduced an easy-to-use graphical user interface, SoftView, to interface with our complete line of PXI products, and we provide VXI plug&play instrument drivers for our wide range of VXI modules.
KineticSystems is ideally suited to meet customers' data acquisition needs. We have more than 35 years of experience in the design, manufacture and delivery of high-performance data acquisition products and systems.

A Major Producer of PXI Products and Systems
We have built upon our VXI and CAMAC expertise to introduce a new line of PXI-based products. Our diverse product range enables us to work with our customers on a complete data acquisition solution. Our new soft front panel application "SoftView" is a simple yet powerful tool that integrates KineticSystems' entire line of CompactPCI/PXI instruments into a single software package. We are an active member of the PXI Systems Alliance.

Continued Support of High-performance VXI and CAMAC-based Products
The VXI standard was developed by major instrumentation manufacturers to allow customers to move from chassis-type instruments to computer-interfaced modular building blocks. Using our extensive CAMAC experience, we soon produced 35 VXI modules for data acquisition and control. As the VXI market has grown to several hundred million dollars, we continue our innovations with additional high-performance products. We are an active member of the VXIbus consortium.
The company was founded in 1970 to develop and manufacture interface modules and associated products based on the international CAMAC standard. CAMAC, an acronym for Computer Automated Measurement and Control, is a set of specifications developed by a committee of the government-sponsored research laboratories (the NIM Committee) to provide standardized modular building blocks for configuring a wide range of data acquisition and control systems. CAMAC, the first open-system real-time input/output (I/O) specification, later was accepted as a standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE STD 583). We soon became the recognized leader in delivering high-performance CAMAC-based products.
