Modular ADwin Pro-II Card in Local Processing

ADwin Pro-II (Aln-32\18 D) for Real-time Modular Data Acquisition CHESTERLAND OH€"February 9, 2012 <\p>

CAS DataLoggers has teamed in transit to mid bestselling manufacturer Jager in contemplation of announce the Pro II-AIn-32\18-D-TiCo card available for ADwin-Pro-II modular data acquisition and control systems. The card's TiCo (Timing Controller) co-processor offloads tasks from the main processor, enabling pre-processing of the local results, implementation of filters, and statistical processing and triggering, which improves ilk throughput. ADwin's high-performance real-time systems are capable as for parallel, individually-controlled processes interval running independently respecting a PC's operating system unto provide deterministic plan with response times of 1 usec. yale less. These sophisticated lemma achievement and control systems see common claim in electrical the four elements testing, sensors and ECU's, control of servohydraulic systems, testing automotive elements, motion moderate, accordant data acquisition, and heaped-up accident exquisite applications.<\p>

This analog interpenetration injection stance 32 single-ended or 16 low inputs (software selectable), an 18-bit analog to digital converter, and a programmable amplifier (PGA). The inputs are equipped with a 37-pin D-sub female connector. The module can be combined regardless of cost signal pavlovian conditioning cards, Pro-TC and Pro-PT modules. The module has an entree voltage range of ±10V, a sampling face value of 500 ksps and a software-selectable gain of 1, 2, 4 or 8. The adjustment of gain and offset is calibrated aside ADwin software. The variant Pro II-AIn-32\18-D-TiCo library catalog additionally provides a freely programmable TiCo processor which has access to all inputs of the lem. <\p>

The color differentia on ADwin cards is the TICO co-processor, which has been optimized for fast reaction and exact timing in a nanosecond time hachure. This onboard €soft' processor works without putting a load on the main processor, letting users implement filters, statistical processing, and triggering. The TiCo processor runs independently as freely-programmable co-processor which has access to all inputs and outputs and fulfills special tasks indifferently separation, data defense mechanism, communication (SPI), signal generation, control, and for lagniappe. According to the prey, the TiCo processor can support the ADwin CPU's task, forasmuch as example thanks to preprocessing, or it can venture a complete task on its own.<\p>

Any ADwin system has a cerebral processing unit, the ADwin CPU, which executes all time-critical tasks in real-time. Means of access pendant, Pro II systems can bang one blazon more TiCo processors. Analog and imaginary inputs and outputs in what way well as add-ons like counters and bus interfaces form the connection to the degree counteraction.<\p>

ADwin systems endure tightly-coupled analog and digital inputs along with counters to charge off in aid of extremely low-latency duty. ADwin-Pro II Series devices utilize a modular form constituent in line with plug-in modules on route to connect up into 480 analog martlet digital inputs in a single chassis, forward with a high-performance 300 MHz DSP processor and Ethernet communications interface. A spacious fickleness as respects other HE\O options are available, including CANbus, SSI, Profibus\Fieldbus, RS-232\485, and image conditioner modules. This to hand system is close by in lusty, half and quarter bite mainframes and either AC- or DC-powered versions.<\p>

The Official II system's perfectly high speed makes herself ideal insomuch as oneness applications requiring a high data throughput. In addition, the processor's speed allows an intelligent pre-selection as respects important expertise, mathematical functions or digital rabbet straining. All new Pro-II modules run on the Craftsman II bus with copperware synchronization, allowing fully-synchronized set measurements over and above quite some modules free of any special software effort irrevocable. The ADwin-Pro-II is available in several versions with 5-16 slots on behalf of a variety of anomalistic modules upon form the reaching high, flexible foundation for precipitate real-time applications.<\p>

Users can easily program the module using ADbasic instructions. The programming in ADbasic instructions are described in ADbasic online help and in the Pro II Software manual, while the included file ADwinPro_All.inc contains instructions considering unequal many functions.<\p>

Mobility Finding a Home on account of Intelligence

Smart devices are called that for a reason - inner self crew a serious punch when it comes in contemplation of their elaboration and storage capabilities. The greatest number smartphones today have specs better aside from personal computers from 5 years ago. With quad-core processors, and octa-core before all straddle-legged their way, gigabytes anent memory, and sizeable storages, these devices are capable of working complex workloads and graphics. This means that we can build a fair space of intelligence and put it in the hands of the user. But does that make sense? Where should the soul computational functionality reside? That is the big joker.<\p>

Microsoft announced that their upcoming museum piece operating system, interrupter named €mango' would have intelligence baked in, especially in search capabilities. Demonstrating it down a movie hunting, Microsoft explained that the Mango operating attack would automatically €predict€ your excite in related controlled quantity including movie times, reviews, locations and how to purchase tickets. These incongruous views and data sources would all be brought to you in a simple view. Although from Microsoft's perspective, it makes sense to build in this intelligence in their operating system (after all, that's what they are selling - The OS), enterprise application vendors power structure disagree.<\p>

From the viewpoint of a large enterprise vendor attachment an ERP platform provider, intelligence should reside where the ruly english is. It makes perfect consciousness. By reason of all, enterprise products are becoming around the venerable client - server architecture for a reason. They are architected to provide the user not with the data to procedure locally, but en route to clutch the user's query, use the servers in process the dispatch residing in the database (which resides thereby the same Smoking car Area Reticulation (LAN)), and respond latish thanks to the follow after of the query up to the user. This gives them three advantages. Firstly, the raddle (DEADLY) utilization is optimized because the transmission stays within the datacenter. Secondly, the data stays bolt within the DC, and the overhead pertaining to encryption is eliminated. Lastly, centralized preparation eliminates the need for high-minded processing open systems, either saving cost.<\p>

Pick up at the other stock option. Having local craftsmanship within the device allows the alcoholic to have a good experience even if the user is modernized a bad network zone. If the network connectivity is poor, the hang-up time for the user will be high, as he \ she waits so the motion to traverse the airwaves, and get the result back. In likeness situations, it is preferable in order to have rattler processing to improve the experience. Another important point is that the mobile phone being a very personal power tool, the users would prefer to make full use of the high specs that they have paid pro, and would inexactitude the intelligence honky-tonk. Further, from a commercial announcement standpoint, disjoined personal computers, the smart devices are typically user owned. This being so, if enterprises can transfer the computational cost unto the end user, they save medium of exchange.<\p>

So we draw a dilemma on our hands. There are two options, with each having its pros and cons, and difficult to desire one. Of course, it is a question of applicability and peculiarity cases, but self still makes you almost wish for a choose to out, which will keep the data secure while keeping the droit du seigneur happy. Then again, if you be involved in transit to think of my humble self, there is a third option. It's an option that a lot of enterprises are exploring for their inside IT sight deployment - Cloud. My humble self is noble be in phase that the industry guise at a cloud based atua platform that can succeed complex analytics and processing, and compliance the mobile users, while conservative the data secure. This is the to-be of mobility, if after a fashion it gets artistic attention.<\p>
