Expertise
We provide software design for PC's in Visual
Basic, C (+/++), and JavaScript. Applications for the PC are numerous but could
typically be: calibration, custom equipment control, interactive test environments, launch
pads for applications, databases, communication systems etc. We also design using PERL and
JAVA for integrated internet gateway applications. In designing hardware we program
at machine code level using assembly language if speed or code efficiency is
required. By fully understanding the client's requirements and by having control
of both software and hardware we offer a solution that is optimised for the scale of the
production.
Case Studies
|
Test Software for RS485 multidrop security products
|
|
 Using Visual Basic and third party communications software
add-ons, we created a test environment for a multi-drop RS485 security system. Each node
on the network can be individually addressed, default parameters can be read, edited and
stored on files on a PC.
Search facilities allow nodes on the network to be identified.
At the end of each day modem software can transmit daily status reports to a remote
system. |
Software for Industrial Control |
|
Using high speed IBM input/output cards it is possible to
monitor and control complex industrial applications. In this application, a printing
process was automated by using the output from a database program to control the printed
data added to a printed label.
The Visual Basic program and the hardware interface we designed gives the operator the
power to interact with the industrial hardware with the convenience of a windows user
environment, and the ability to work with today's powerful data management software. |

 Software for low cost hardware control
By using the printer port of a PC it is possible to create a low cost interface
that allows interaction with a product connected to it. This can be used for many
applications such as data acquisition or re-programming. |
