‘Offline Programming’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from
HEM Data Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance from
Galil Motion Control: "Galil Motion Control has provided a DMC-4020 controller for the US Border Patrol's surveillance system. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from RDP Electronics
- take a look at RDP transducers give direct analogue output
which says: "RDP Electronics' rugged MTS R Series analogue transducers are suited to a range of industrial applications that require a direct analogue output for continuous measurement of displacement and speed. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Epiphan Systems, Epiphan introduces KVM internet appliance,
as well as Pan-and-tilt positioner integrates electronics from Aerotech,
and Boa camera suits harsh factory-floor environments from Adept Electronic Solutions.
