Hello Everyone,
We have a new employee, Nicola Soakell who will be managing the eNewsletter marketing lists and also build our new eCommerce sites.
For all the LabVIEW programmers.
We have had quite a bit of interest on the new MCC DAQ Driver for Multicore and Windows 7 systems for LabVIEW 8.2.1 and newer. ( It will run also with standard single core well I have tried it)
Here is a little more info for you
- Comprehensive library of VIs and examples
- Polymorphic VIs reduce the number of required VIs
- Intelligent error handling
- Synchronous DAQ operation support
- Auto management of device capabilities
- 24-bit MCC device support
- Easy-to-use counter/timer support

MCC's Measurement Studio
Now I know that the market is swinging away from LabVIEW as the software tools from MS and others get better. We have had a case recently where a site wanted to develop ATE systems and thought LV was best. After a little discussion it was determined that Measurement Studio would be better as the programmer they had was already familiar with .net, C and C#. After one months of work they are well into the ATE project with version 1 almost complete.
Have a look at MCC's Measurement Studio, it is very comprehensive.

Industrial and Commercial Backup Power Systems Soltec's AHS series Inverter Chargers - Low Sleep Power Are you looking for a power back up system that can sleep if there is no load on the output and also has very low sleep power.??
Soltec's AHS series has always been suitable for sites that require long runtime backup power -- running lights, pumps, fans, elevators, emergency doors, smoke fans, alarm systems, security and access systems etc. Link
Now these AHS units with no load go to sleep and with very low DC power levels. When a load appears they wake up.
Solar Charger option also, so sleep with no AC and charge battery bank with Solar.

This is running again as it is very important, as it is changing the rules again for embedded services
If you develop a product that needs to give customers web services, storage, on line reconfiguration etc then this is the lowest cost way to get hooked up.
iDigi will be a very useful tool - without a lot of cost and extra people involved in development.
This will save many hours of programming to get these services
It removes responsibility and and reduces costs adn speeds time to market.

TST Series for CNC machines or robots etc
This electronic voltage regulator series has 4 three-phase models ranging from 6 to 24 kVA.
They are the best solution for feeding CNC machine tools, robots and telecommunication systems. You do need them!
Thanks to a delta-star isolation transformer they create a "real neutral" on the output lines while using a three-phase input mains without neutral.
This is an excellent website to get educated on Power Conditioning
