Lockport, Illinois (September 17, 2007) – GaGe, a worldwide leader in design and manufacture of high-performance PC-based digitizer and oscilloscope cards, today announced its new LapScope™ family of PCI expansion chassis for its next-generation CompuScope™ and CompuGen™ cards. LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 provide single or dual PCI expansion slots for board-level instruments such as GaGe's next-generation digitizer cards. " Our LapScope solution, equipped with one of our high-performance digitizer cards, is the ideal portable digitizer solution for use with your laptop or to provide additional PCI slots for a desktop computer, " said Nicole Faubert , Marketing Manager for GaGe products.

Some key features of LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 PCI expansion chassis include:

• Easy Plug and Play installation
• PCI Express® host card provides easy connection to desktop computers and servers, CardBus and ExpressCard modules provide connection to your favorite laptop computer
• Includes 1-meter expansion cable
• 1 or 2 slot PCI backplane
• Dedicated cooling and power for PCI cards
• Supports full-length or shorter PCI cards, including GaGe's next-generation CompuScope and CompuGen cards
• Full-length enclosure supports cards that are 12.74" or shorter and weighs only 2.15 pounds

Offering a consistent PCI configuration that allows easy host computer upgrades, LapScope-1 is the ideal solution for adding a single PCI card to a desktop/server using a PCI Express slot, which has low latency and high PCI throughput. LapScope-2 allows you to add multiple PCI cards to mobile computers, permitting multiple expansion systems to be connected to a single computer. Both LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 are the proven method to increase PCI capability without losing performance.

Used with GaGe's next-generation cards, which include the Cobra TM CompuScopes, Octopus TM family of multi-channel digitizers, CompuScope 14200 and CompuScope 12400, the LapScope TM family of PCI expansion chassis are particularly useful in applications that require extreme mobility and portability, such as aircraft testing, in-vehicle testing, and testing in remote environments where there is no access to AC power.

GaGe's LapScope-1 and LapScope-2 PCI expansion chassis are available to order immediately with a projected lead-time of 6-8 weeks. Pricing starts at $1,295.00 USD for the US market.
