  The USB-2020 data acquisition (DAQ) device provides simultaneous, high-speed analog inputs at rates up to 20 MS/s per channel. Users can sample data directly to the 64 MS onboard memory or continuously stream data to a host computer. Features include an A/D converter per channel, flexible triggering and gating options, and digital I/O. |

Company High Lite This Month Measurement Computing Corporation MasTec has distributed MCCDAQ since the mid 90s. Customers from that period will remember the original name for the company as "Computer Boards" Renamed Measurement Computing Corporation >> MCC is one of our premier companies in our Distribution Company Stable.
We have thousands of their products running in Oceania. Their product range is very broad, so please ask for help in selecting the correct unit if you get overwhelmed. They are highly reliable products. We very rarely have failure or warranty claims. MasTec uses MCC in all its Projects, almost exclusively. Below are some links to their product site.

OPTO 22 Products MasTec has distributed OPTO 22 since the mid 1990s and highly recommends all their products. OPTO 22 is one of the world's premier suppliers. Opto 22 manufactures powerful and easy to use hardware and software products that allows measurement and control of all kinds of electrical, mechanical, and electronic devices and machines. OPTO 22 IOT products enable industry to look after all types of systems and devices remotely View Opto 22 PAC controllers, I/O (input and output modules), solid-state relays, and software are used for industrial automation, remote monitoring, data acquisition, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. OPTO 22 has the best HMI product on the market groov OPTO 22 products make it possible for you to use your normal business networks and computer systems to monitor, control, and get data from all the devices and machines that are important to your business, on the production floor or even more remotely. OPTO
22 products translate the data between computers and other machines.
This translation works easily and inexpensively because Opto
22 designed products to run on non-proprietary communication
standards like Ethernet and the Internet Protocol (IP). You will find if you are building PAC based solutions, in almost all cases OPTO 22 will the lowest cost and the most flexible of all current solutions on the market. And of course you get OPTO 22 legendary isolation and tough I/O. Ask for a quote before you run off and buy some companies PAC system that doesn't have the long experience OPTO 22 has (since 1972). |

OPTO 22 IO4AB The perfect companion for your Allen-Bradley® System SNAP I/O from Opto 22 extends your A-B PLC system with distributed Ethernet I/O where you need it, plus advanced process control features. With ControlLogix® and CompactLogix PLCs, use our distributed intelligence to shift I/O scanning and control to the local I/O level. Or add new, reliable, low-cost analog and digital I/O to MicroLogix® systems. Why would you do this?? Read these two articles and you will see that adding ethernet IO with Brains takes the load out of your PLC and more. Expanding AB Systems with Intelligent Remote I/O link Adding Process Control to a PLC-Based System link Watch step-by-step video link Opto 22's Alexi Beck Gray shows you how to simply set up SNAP I/O with an A-B system that uses RSLogix™. Configure I/O, create assemblies, and exchange data. Allen-Bradley, ControlLogix, MicroLogix, and RSLogix are trademarks or registered trademarks of Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Book 1 "Hidden Data", that is, cleaning up LV Program's by Removing Constants from Diagrams and putting them in Configuration Files for Loading at runtime. This method does not use ini files but a far more robust LabVIEW centric method, not seen in other literature. It also cleans up Diagrams and Self Documents. Book 2 "Abstraction", that is, removing complexity in the top layer of a LabVIEW diagram by building Abstracted Message Driven LV Components. This shows how to build Message driven (Test Verbs) Abstracted named (noun) State Engine Components that are safe & robust. It also leads to better cohension of course and no/low coupling. Book 3 "Real Time Cluster Constants Editor", that is, Removed Diagram Constants that are loaded at Run Time from a config file, can now be edited, in situ, inside the Program /or its Component while it runs, allowing tuning of programs in Real Time. Changes made to the Constants by the editor can also be saved back into their original configuration files at run time. This addition of the Real Time Editor removes the need to exit a component or program to edit constants. Book 4 "Low Frequency Real Time Control", is about how to use USB DAQ, DIO and DAC to control an Hydraulic RAM for Testing a UUT. It is a close look at how to use State Engine for Control. Simple
but useful for anyone wanting to do closed loop control.
Using LCOP methods will simplify and establish design development plus stabilise your programs. It even make installs easier. Updating and expanding programs then follows a standard pattern already in the program design. Also this method delineates Public and Private data clearly. This is critical for Component Design and for low coupling and best Cohension.

MasTec recently under took a 4 day Training course for 15 Academics, (Professors and Grad Students), at one of Oceania's largest universities. The focus was on getting students to the point where they can undetake projects by the end of the course. A big ask. However, the focus was not on how to use all the bits inside LabVIEW to make software but the development of strategies to allow projects to be undertaken. The MasTec Instructor has trained all over the globe and has taught over 2000 students. He will also come to your site and do training with your LabVIEW team, using traditional or these new LabVIEW methods MasTec has developed. Keep up with MasTec's latest LabVIEW Notes
MasTec has several large projects on its books, spread out over about 3 years. There are gaps in this schedule. MasTec is still undertaking new projects in legacy LV 6.1 /7.1 systems still running in Windows XP. Many sites still run XP for their LABs and Production areas. Major new projects are still undetaken in LabVIEW 7.1 that run in Windows 7 32 Bit OS, very successfully. LabVIEW 7.1 is still (in our opinion) the best LabVIEW ever released. Fast, efficient and stable. Win 7 32 bit OS will be available for some time. Most large corporations are still running Win 7 due to its excellent stability and IT staffs familiarity and history. However, other projects using from LabVIEW 2010 up to the present version of 2015 SP1, which is good, but very processor hungry and much slower to develop in. We only recommend I7s CPUs with this software with SSDs for the OS and LV. Over the last year MasTec has completed 6 major projects in sites through out NZ. Several hundred hours of programming work has been completed, as well as many hundreds of hours of commissioning, site management, and installation. All these projects involved LabVIEW at the core. However, many of these projects also include PACs, PLCs, Process Controllers, with peripherals like Servos, Actuators, VSDs, Water measurement and control, Hydraulic Control and other real world systems.
The MD of MasTec has recently decided it is time to realign his life after 50 years of technology, to go horse riding with his wife and dogs Polly, Lilly and newly arrived Freddie. If you have an interest in owning this important technology company, now is the time to act and start communcation for succession in early 2017. Contact the Trustees |
