Overview
The SCAN-A-LINEâ„¢ Model MPX Measurement Processor is the next generation of versatile Measurement Processors from Harris Instrument Corporation. The MPX can be configured to perform a wide range of measurement applications via a user-friendly, graphical software Setup Utility. This allows one unit to operate with all SCAN-A-LINE 10X-series sensors in any configuration. The microprocessor-based unit eliminates the need for changing interface boards, hardware jumpers, internal cables, connectors, and other hardware, which means that facilities with multiple applications can maintain fewer spare parts. Sensor configuration and calibration information is stored in non-volatile memory when power is removed. When the MPX is connected to a LAN with internet access it is possible to remotely access the video as seen by the receivers and measure system power supply voltages. In the case of a new installation it is even possible to re-balance the LED arrays via this internet link.
