PAXcam's are
USB 2 high resolution high pixel Microscope Camera products and
Software
Suitable for all these disciplines:-
Materials
Welding
Sperm Analysis
Defense / Aerospace
Gemology
Pathology
FailureAnalysis
Forensics
MuseumCollections
Semiconductor
Life Science
Inspection
Pharmaceutical
Antiquities
Metrology
All products
are TWAIN devices, so they can be used / launched from various
other TWAIN compliant software programs, such as PhotoShop, etc
Inversely, TWAIN scanners, digital consumer cameras, etc are compatible
with the PAXit! software - so images can be imported, archived,
and stored in the searchable PAXit! database, as well as enhanced
and processed by the various functions within the PAXit! environment.
Rather than trying to organize thousands of files in Windows folders
with elaborate naming schemes, you can use PAX-it's user-friendly,
fully-integrated digital database structure to archive, search,
process, measure and analyze, all within one application. There
is no need to copy, paste, open multiple applications, or import.
-it streamlines the process and improves your workflow dramatically,
leading to increased productivity, better collaboration, reduced
opportunity for human error, and producing the exact results you
desire.

Hello to all our Readers around the world,
Hope all is well with everyone. What a mild winter we are having in Auckland New Zealand this year.
- One new company this month, PaxIT for High Res Microscope Cameras and Software.
Like to welome all the new Research Institutions scientists, engineers and technicans to our newsletter. Our marketing department has been contacting all facilities in New Zealand over the last month or so.
Mesh Radio:-
This month we will discuss Mesh Radio and where it is being used and the potential; for you, our clients, to add this to your products for very very low cost. Without ZigBee or DigiMesh mesh interfaces, it is going to be hard to sell products soon, it is the new USB or Serial with no wires.
***************************
Digi International has just announced the release of the DigiMesh™ networking protocol, coming soon for the XTend™ long-range products and the XBee® product family.
DigiMesh uses a peer-to-peer structure to enable sleeping routers and more efficient routing of data over dense and complex mesh networks.
Available exclusively from Digi International, DigiMesh is portable to a variety of products running on 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz with ranges up to 40 miles (64 km), including XBee, XTend, and other soon-to-be-released products.
So why DigiMesh, and what is missing with the current ZigBee Mesh methods?
The ZigBee Protocol defines three types of nodes: Coordinators, Routers and End Device, with a requirement of one Coordinator per network. While all nodes can send and receive data, there are differences in the specific roles they play.
DigiMesh has only one node type. As a homogenous network, all nodes can route data and are interchangeable. There are no parent-child relationships. All can be configured as low-power / battery powered devices.
So Digi Mesh can be used not only with ZigBee short distance type devices but also with any RF system, like the Digi Long Distance RF system called Xtend, with up to 40Km hops. This enables extensive range of multinode wireless systems.
Both systems- ZigBee and Digi Mesh have special operations areas.
ZigBee is an open standard, it offers the potential for interoperability with devices made by different vendors. This provides the ability to have over-the-air firmware updates. Furthermore, ZigBee offers established profiles for common applications such as energy management and lighting controls. A good selection of diagnostic support tools, like RF packet sniffers, is also available.
DigiMesh, as a proprietary protocol, allows for tighter control of code space and therefore more room for growth in features. DigiMesh is available on platforms with longer range and more RF data rate options. Frame payload is generally larger, which can improve throughput for applications that send larger data blocks. Additionally, DigiMesh uses a simplified addressing method, which improves network setup and trouble shooting.One of the significant advantages of Digi Mesh is the abilitiy for all nodes to sleep, unlike Zigbee where only end nodes can sleep. This is important for battery powered systems and can make some systems possible especially in DiN systems ( Drop in Networks ) where AC power or Cable network is not available but a node is required in that location.
There are many other advantages to Digi Mesh read this White paper for more
The cost of building in Zigbee Mesh radio into your products is very low. MasTec is selling ZigBee modules both standard and Pro versions as small RF Core Modules for plugging directly into your own PCB designs. Cost are typically <$35 NZD and the PRO <$60 NZD. This adds links out at 250KBaud
Contact MasTec about these products and other options.
Next Month:-We look at the Company -- Array.
Array is like Rigol (which we will looked sometime also). These companies are making superb instruments. Array is making Production Line and Development Lab instruments - equal to European and USA equipment.
If you are in these areas of work, do look at Array.
Also if you are using small PLCs, do also look at Arrays PLCs, they are most interesting and are being used to automate China.
So don't miss the point in these communications, things are changing and will never be quite the same again.
