"I love the diversity of my job. Software is only a tool I use to bring a machine from an idea to production. I have been able to demonstrate technology and interface with the customers to understand what they desire in a product."
Can you guess what this next sentence defines? "The Process of acquiring modifications in existing knowledge, skills, habits, or tendencies through experience, practice, or exercise."
Featured Project: Calibrated Accelerated Life Test Platform
Customer Need: Develop an adaptable controls system capable of performing accelerated life testing on hydraulic cylinders
DISTek set out to create a flexible hardware platform that, when combined with NI VeriStand� and LabVIEW�, could be configured and expanded by the end user to allow for the implementation of various test scenarios. The customer had been dedicating multiple test benches to continuously perform different tests on these cylinders. The majority of the hardware and software on these stands was obsolete and no longer supported by the manufactures.
In a mathematical model created in Mathworks Simulink�, an algebraic loop occurs when an input and output have a circular dependency, i.e., they are dependent on each other at the exact same time. Simulink detects these situations and can compute the correct result.
