SGD 43-A
4.3" PanelPilotACE Compatible Display
SGD 43-A is a 4.3" capacitive touch display designed for use with
Panelpilotace Design Studio, a free drag-and-drop style software package
The SGD 43-A is the first in a range of PanelPilotACE compatible displays and panel meters. The low-profile display
features a 4.3" capacitive touch screen and an ARM Cortex A9 processor running embedded Linux. The display can be
powered from either USB or a 5 to 30V d.c. supply and offers users a wealth of hardware interfaces which include four
16bit bi-polar analogue inputs (to a maximum of ±40V d.c.), eight digital input/output pins, two alarm outputs (maximum
current sink 10mA) and four 8bit PWM outputs.
Users program the display using the free PanelPilotACE Design Studio software which allows the creation of anything from
simple meters and dials, through to advanced user interfaces with control elements.

Page 1: Specifications
The SGD 43-A is the first in a range of PanelPilotACE compatible displays and panel meters. The low-profile display features a 4.3” capacitive touch screen and an ARM Cortex A9 processor running embedded Linux. The display can be powered from either USB or a 5 to 30V d.c. - Page 2 The software includes a ‘Preview in Emulator’ function which emulates the hardware’s inputs and outputs, allowing users to test their projects prior to upload. Projects are uploaded to the SGD 43-A via a mini USB port. PanelPilotACE Design Studio is compatible with Windows XP (SP3), Vista, 7 and 8 and can be downloaded free from www.panelpilot.com.
