Embedded Software Experience with numerous embedded processors and microcontrollers Expertise in many programming languages Offering “functionality upgrades” to current products Need new functionality for an existing product? Found a bug that needs to be fixed? Offering new products with robust embedded solutions Developing a new product? We can provide the software, hardware, or a complete product!

Significant experience in reverse engineering products Offering reverse engineering services for a wide range of capabilities Reproduce a competitor’s electronics circuitry Determine a proprietary communications format, such as a serial port interface Decompile software to reveal functionality or make modifications

Custom Electronics Custom circuit cards can be developed to meet the unique needs of any project Production cost of custom circuit cards is far lower than buying commercial electronics making this service an ideal solution for new products

Off the Shelf Product Supplier Electronics is packaged in custom designed enclosures including powder coat and silk screen Available in any shape: rack-mount, bench-top, or unique shapes

Product Pictures Front panel LEDs provide quick system status Connectorized I/O is available in many varieties offering simple installation

Windows Software Applications User Friendly Windows software can be developed for monitoring and controlling processes Sample Applications: Detailed Data Logging to document system performance Interfacing with the product remotely via the network Top level status to managing several processes simultaneously

Windows Software Applications The custom interface shown on the right illustrates an automated calibration sequence A highlighted flow chart reports the status on the current process Process “mimic” diagrams provide “status at a glance” to quickly determine the current configuration of the system Green/Red status LEDs offer a quick system summary

Automated Test Stations Given design specs for a product, a test fixture can be developed to fully verify functionality and performance Fully automated testing eliminates user error and saves verification time Detailed log files serve as quality assurance to record the performance and PASS/ FAIL results of each test Useful for new products and products returned for repair / refurbishment

Automated Test Stations Simple PASS/FAIL status reports Manual “Simulated” Temperature & Pressure controls are available for controller troubleshooting “One Click” testing removes possibility of user error After test begins, all data is documented in log files with PASS/FAIL results Status LEDs show controller’s reported status and the test fixture sensor status for easy troubleshooting

Wireless Solutions Offering a wide range of wireless solutions to relay data over any distance Short range can be accomplished with Wi-Fi, Wireless USB, Blue Tooth Long range can be met with GSM (cell phone technology) Sample application shown below
