Easier access to complex technical software
The latest version of the EASA (Enterprise Accessible Software Applications) package provides substantial improvements in its ability to provide simplified access to complex technical software.
With over 100 downloads of the free trial, the Palm software may be one of Business Industrial Network's most popular online products lines yet.
The Electrist has the most complete set of electrical and electronic calculations, over 90 formulas and variations.
The electronic calculators include Ohm's Law, resistor color codes, inductance, capacitance, decibels and more.
Some of the electrical calculators are voltage and current dividers, peak-to-peak, delta/wye conversion and more.
One of the key features that makes the Electrist stand out from other similar calculators is its use of AWG, metric, custom conductor sizes, conductor voltage drop and conductor size selection calculators.
Business Industrial Network reports several sales where technicians have actually purchased their first Palm specifically to run the conductor voltage drop and size selection calculator.
What makes these two calculators so popular? A voltage drop calculator capable of giving the drop over any length of conductor when given the length and AWG, metric, or user-custom size units.
A conductor size selection calculator which when given parameters such as current, length, and maximum voltage drop will return the minimum size of conductor to do the job using ampacity ratings based on NEC Table 310-16.
Future updates to this calculator will include the ability to return the conductor in metric and user-specified sizes and use other ampacity standards beyond NEC Table 310-16 as well.
This Palm software also comes with lifetime free update which makes the new product fall in line with Business Industrial Network's goal to always give customers more than they expect.
This new Palm PDA based software suite is ideal for Business Industrial Network's current industrial training customers, at the same time programs like the Electrist will attract new customers like residential electricians, electronic technicians, as well as engineering professionals, students and hobbyists.
