Data Acquisition
This is where it starts. We design systems and develop
software for PC based systems (PXI/PCI/USB), VXI based systems, and bench top
and rack mount instrument systems, or any configuration thereof, to
acquire data accurately and reliably. We have experience with a wide range of
sensors and sense instruments, and when needed, call on the assistance of
others.
Instrumentation Control
Instruments do the work. They source signals, they sense signals,
and they handle devices-under-test - and it takes software
to do it. We have developed DLL drivers (LabWindows/CVI, C/C++ VisualBasic) and
G drivers for LabView. Our long experience with GPIB, USB, RS-422/232, and
PC-bus interfaces for both well behaved devices and not so well behaved devices,
assures accurate and reliable instrument control.
User Interface Design
It's people who control, monitor and interpret and they do it through the
user interface. We design user interfaces for a wide
variety of environments including process control for both skilled and
unskilled operators, test executive programs, characterization and development
programs, and medical databases, Our comprehensive understanding of color,
layout, symbols, and human factors results in effective, easy to use program
interfaces.
Test Automation
ATE is where it all comes together: data acquisition, instrument control,
device-under-test control and handling, data analysis and reporting. We
wrap it all together in a single program, a series of programs or a flexible
test-executive program according to the specific needs of the project..
Technical Documentation
It ain't over until the documentation is done.|We do user manuals and other
technical documentation - and we do them well.
