Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Measurement Computing has released two new data acquisition products featuring a new OS-independent protocol that allows DAQ devices to be programmed with simple text-based messages.
A new 7000 series product line, which includes the USB-7202 and USB-7204 boards, combines small form-factor, bus-powered USB hardware, and a light and agile software framework that can be ported to multiple operating systems. The software framework is called Message-Based DAQ (MBD).
MBD is a protocol that permits the programming of DAQ devices using text-based messages. The MBD protocol greatly simplifies driver and application development, because all DAQ operations are programmed through a common command interface, which is composed of a consistent, extensible firmware interface and an open-source, cross-platform API.
The firmware parses text-based messages transmitted through a device driver and converts those messages into DAQ-specific commands that control the device.
The USB-7202 and USB-7204 boards are multifunction measurement and control devices intended specifically for the MBD protocol. Both are shipped as open stackable PC/104-sized boards without enclosures. Both the USB-7202 and USB-7204 offer two USB connection options: high retention B-type, and OEM header.
