LabVIEW TOOLKIT The LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0 is an add-on that links the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment with The Math Works Inc. Simulink modeling and simulation software. With this toolkit, design engineers build custom user interfaces to interactively verify Simulink models and easily deploy these models to real-time hardware for control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing, helping them deliver new products to market faster. The Toolkit includes a connection manager that engineers can use to create custom LabVIEW-based graphical user interfaces that connect to parameters and output of Simulink models. Engineers can incorporate their application knobs, dials, gauges and graphs into a single, comprehensive interface to easily verify their simulation models. In addition, they can implement batch simulations to validate Simulink models with a wide range of test parameters. National Instruments |
FLEXIBLE MODULAR POWER PLATFORM The Agilent N6700 low-profile modular power system (MPS) offers industry-leading processing speeds, autoranging output and new measurement capabilities for automatic test equipment (ATE) applications in industries. It gives test system designers the flexibility to mix and match from 13 different DC power modules to create a 1- to 4-channel DC power system optimized to meet specific test requirements. The innovative power system is the first to combine industry-standard I/O options and the ability to place up to four outputs with various performance levels into a single, space-saving 1U-high package. The N6700 provides universal serial bus (USB 2.0), 10/100 Base-T Ethernet (LAN) and general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) interfaces as standard features, allowing quick and simple connectivity to a PC, other instruments in a test system, or to a network for access across an engineering workgroup. It can also be remotely operated from any browser by connecting to its built-in Web page for control and monitoring of power supply operations. Agilent Technologies Canada Inc. |

TIPPING BUCKET RAIN GAUGES The RG-2500 tipping bucket rain gauge is a dependable instrument used for measuring precipitation. Rainfall that enters the 8" or 12" funnel collector is directed to the tipping bucket assembly. When an incremental amount of precipitation has been collected 0.01", the bucket assembly tips and activates a magnetic reed switch. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge. A momentary electrical contact is provided for each increment of rainfall. The contact closure is used to operate a data acquisition system. The model RG-2500E is used where 115 Vac is available and precipitation is often in the form of snow. A heating kit has been added to the basic RG-2500 rain gauge to provide capability for measuring snow. OMEGA |
