Measurement Computing Publishes New USB-based DAQ Catalog

10/13/2004 - Measurement Computing Corporation announced the release of its new "USB-based DAQ" catalog. The free 20-page catalog details the company's Personal Measurement Device brand including the new PMD-THERM temperature module. The catalog also introduces the company's Measurement Advantage brand of higher performance, more industrial USB-based data acquisition and control devices. The catalog also details the extensive software included with each Measurement Computing USB-based DAQ device.

The Personal Measurement Device (PMD) family offers a totally unique combination of low cost, high performance, and small size. The new PMD-THERM monitors eight channels of temperature input from any desired combination of thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and/or semiconductor temperature sensors.

The Measurement Advantage family is designed for larger, more complex, and more industrial applications. Each Measurement Advantage module is housed in a compact, all-aluminum chassis and rests comfortably on any bench top, or mounts quickly and easily on any common DIN rail configuration. An exclusive built-in, single-port USB hub allows up to five USB-series devices to be controlled by a single USB port on your computer. Power may also be daisy chained from one device to another. No other USB DAQ supplier offers these incredible advantages.

Both families include a wide array of software, including SoftWIRE, a graphical programming extension to Visual Studio .NET; TracerDAQ, a powerful new strip chart, oscilloscope and data logger; and the Universal Library programming language driver package. Both families are also fully supported by LabVIEW and MATLAB.

Measurement Computing Corporation is a market leader in the design and manufacture of computer-based test and measurement hardware and software. These products include analog and digital I/O boards, serial and GPIB interfaces for the USB, PCI, ISA, cPCI, PCMCIA, and PC/104 buses, as well as RS-232/485 serial interfaces. The privately owned company, founded in 1989, has more than 70 employees and markets its products worldwide through direct sales, a distribution network, and the worldwide web.

Debugging Analog Mixed Signal Circuits

All levels of IC design have been impacted by increasing pressure on production costs and time to market. In this situation, one of the major challenges is to avoid silicon failure or yield loss. A widely accepted statistic today is that almost half of all designs fail at first silicon. Failure costs include new mask generations, additional engineering time, and the potential miss of a large part of the market window for a product.

Software and the Art of Business Unusual

The semiconductor industry has been slowed by the current economic crisis. According to Gartner, worldwide semiconductor revenue growth in 2009 is expected to be 1%, down by approximately 7 percentage points from previous estimates. Even with the very weak economic environment, semiconductor growth was surprisingly strong until recently. However, the industry is changing this quarter. According to Gartner, there is strong evidence to suggest that the semiconductor industry will see negative growth starting in the fourth quarter of 2008, and that this will continue throughout most of 2009.

Rapid Prototyping in a Collaborative Environment

Large organizations often struggle with innovation. Developing prototypes in either hardware or software often needs to bring together design teams and system architects who can be spread out across the world, and making this a fast and efficient process can be a struggle. Now software configuration management (SCM) tools are being used to speed up the prototyping process dramatically.
