As complete recording systems, the Talon recorders are ideal for capturing any type of streaming sources including live transfers from sensors or data from other computers. The built-in Windows 7 Professional workstation with an Intel Core i7 processor gives the user total flexibility in routing data to various drives, networks, and I/O channels. Plus it allows the user to install post-processing and analysis tools to operate on the recorded data.

“These recorders exploit the latest storage technology to deliver the industry’s fastest recording rates and deepest capacities,” said Rodger Hosking, vice president of Pentek. “Our SystemFlow recording software simplifies user operation and the application programming interface (API) allows system integrators to add the recorder as a peripheral to a larger system.” Rodger added, “We offer these recorders in many different configurations for operation not only in the lab, but also in the field and on board vehicles, ships, and aircraft. The SSDs (solid state drives) we use in the ruggedized recorders are immune to shock and vibration and are ideal for severe environments.”

Data files include time stamping as well as recording parameters and optional GPS (global positioning system) information. They are stored in the native Windows NTFS (new technology file system) format, allowing drive units to be read by personal computers eliminating the need for file conversion. Files can also be downloaded from the system through gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, eSATA3 ports or written to optical disks using the built-in 8X double layer DVD±R/RW drive.

Talon recorders are able to move data at a very high rate to the latest generation of high-capacity disk drives. The rugged portable (Model 2736) and rugged rack-mount (Model 2756) recorders are configured with SSDs while the commercial rack-mount (Model 2716) recorder is configured with HDDs (hard disk drives). The drives are hot-swappable and can be easily removed or exchanged during or after a mission to retrieve recorded data.

About Serial FPDP Compatibility

The recorders are fully compatible with the VITA 17.1 Serial FPDP specification in all modes and operational features. Supporting 1.0625, 2.125 and 2.5 Gbaud link rates and options for multi-mode and single-mode optical interfaces, the modules can work in virtually any system. Programmable modes include flow control in both receive and transmit directions, cyclical redundant checks (CRC) support and copy/loop modes. The recorders can be ordered with either four or eight bidirectional Serial FPDP ports and with copper or optical interconnect options. The Serial FPDP interface provides an ideal light-weight protocol that is able to connect system-to-system and system-to-peripheral to enable recording in nearly any situation.

{

internal void Method()

{

base.Property = 1;

int i = base.Property;

base.Property += 20;

base.Property++;

--base.Property;

}

public class Test15

{

public int Property

{

get { return mProperty; }

set { mProperty = value; }

}

private int mProperty;

}

Java code generated by CodePorting:

package CSharp2java.Tests.Convert.Properties;

// ********* THIS FILE IS AUTO PORTED FORM C# USING CODEPORTING.COM *********

class Test151 extends Test15

{

void method()

The solution allows both analog and digital designers to seamlessly resolve A/MS verification problems from one cohesive, integrated platform.

Creating and verifying A/MS integrated circuits is a challenge. Spice-based simulation provides the accuracy needed for the analog design, but is too slow to handle the digital part. Event-driven digital simulation provides the necessary speed to simulate the digital portions, but fails when dealing with the analog parts. As A/MS designs grow in complexity and business pressures force design teams to shorten time to market and reduce re-spins, a new solution for mixed analog and digital co-simulation, with a robust feature set and an affordable price, is needed.

HiPer Simulation A/MS helps to eliminate co-simulation complexities by automatically recognizing the analog and digital portions of a design and enabling designers to easily verify interfaces between analog and digital blocks. The integrated solution provides accurate, high-performance co-simulation that allows designers to verify the most complex A/MS designs with ease and confidence, and within budget.

“Tanner EDA's focus on the price-performance ratio extends to bringing innovations to our customers from well-regarded partners with a similar concern for total cost of ownership,” said Greg Lebsack, president of Tanner EDA. “HiPer Simulation A/MS -- based on mature, industry proven products -- provides customers with a highly productive and practical A/MS tool suite that bridges the cross-over points between analog and digital design.”

“The synergies we have with Tanner EDA span both technology and business,” said Dr. Stanley Hyduke, president and CEO for Aldec. “Both companies have delivered top-notch products and relentless customer service for the last 20 plus years and this collaborative A/MS solution will prove again why both Aldec and Tanner EDA continue to see growth and innovation in our respective areas of expertise.”

Availability

HiPer Simulation A/MS is available on both Windows and Linux. The new product includes Tanner EDA's design entry and simulation tool suite for analog design (S-Edit for schematic capture, T-Spice for circuit simulation (with Verilog-A modeling), and W-Edit for waveform probing) and Riviera-PRO (TE) – the Tanner Edition of mixed VHDL and Verilog simulation from Aldec.

Press Release: Emerson Network Power Recognized as Number One in AdvancedTCA Systems

Emerson Network Power — Thu, 17 May 2012 17:52:45 +0000

TEMPE, Ariz., US. [17 May, 2012] – A new report has recognized the AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) market leadership position of Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™.

The ATCA Worldwide Market Share Analysis and Market Forecast, 2011 – 2016, report from Markinetics, Inc., an independent market research consultancy, identifies Emerson Network Power as having the largest installed base of ATCA blades and ATCA systems and the largest market penetration in 2011. As one of the pioneers of ATCA technology, Emerson Network Power has been supplying integrated, application-ready platforms and market-leading blades for over 10 years. Having worked with all of the top large telecom equipment manufacturers and many smaller specialized providers of networking equipment, the company has built up an unrivalled depth and breadth of experience and expertise worldwide.

According to the Markinetics report (commissioned by Emerson Network Power), the ATCA equipment market reached an estimated size of $742.1 million in 2011, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately nine percent from 2010. By the end of 2012, the ATCA market is expected to grow further and slightly exceed $831 million. The Markinetics report states that Emerson Network Power captured 19.2 percent of the overall market and cites the company’s strategic acquisitions and investment in ATCA research and development.

Richard Dean, senior vice president, Markinetics, Inc., said: “Achieving global competitive advantage in an ever-changing, intensely competitive, and highly-regulated industry requires much more than competent products, services, and favorable pricing. The ATCA supplier, then, can be most successful when it possesses unique technical resources and market development capabilities which enable it to profitably satisfy these customer needs in ways that are difficult to emulate. Maintaining a leadership position over an extended period generally requires a sensible blend of customer intimacy, operational excellence and technology leadership. Emerson Network Power is one of only a small handful of firms capable of demonstrating a comprehensive technical and services roadmap over time and is therefore more likely to become a preferred ATCA vendor of choice and expand its installed base.”

“With over 25,000 ATCA systems and 200,000 blades deployed in carrier networks, it is clear that Emerson Network Power is the leader in ATCA,” said Brian Brown, vice president and general manager, marketing and services for the Embedded Computing business of Emerson Network Power. “Our installed systems process over 500 Terabytes per second, which is the equivalent of over 18 million high definition movies per day!

“We have achieved the honored position of number one by making sure that our deep understanding of our customers’ needs is translated into solutions that help them gain a competitive advantage while reducing total cost of ownership and risk,” Brown continued.

Emerson Network Power was actively involved in the definition of the AdvancedTCA specification and continues to lead in its evolution through various committees, including working on expanding its application beyond a successful telecom base. The company has hosted interoperability workshops and public demonstrations, and written many white papers and articles to educate developers.

As one of the first companies to introduce the latest 40G ATCA technology, Emerson Network Power has deployed many thousands of 40G-ready ATCA platforms in carrier networks. These platforms include 2-slot, 6-slot and 14-slot variants that are designed to meet the needs of telecom central office environments.

Rob Pettigrew, marketing director of Emerson Network Power’s Embedded Computing business, said: “Emerson is the only major ATCA systems vendor that designs and manufactures its own chassis. We understand how to build systems that are capable of meeting the carrier-grade NEBS and ETSI requirements of central office deployments. And since we understand and specify our cooling environments, we can design all our payload blades such that they can be deployed in all of our chassis with full payload configurations, and still meet the industry’s thermal and acoustic requirements. What’s more, we have the only two-slot and six-slot systems in the market with front to rear cooling and integrated AC power options, which are critical for central office deployments.

“With one of only a few generally available 40G ATCA switches, the ATCA-F140, and a growing portfolio of 40G payload blades, Emerson is poised for continued leadership as ATCA technology is adopted as a common platform for a wider range of applications,” Pettigrew continued.

Press Release: Automatically Convert C# Unsigned Integer Types to java using CodePorting Engine

Codeporting — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:49:58 +0000

We have shown you in previous blog posts that how developers can translate C# properties to java using CodePorting C#2Java. CodePorting is determined to translate those C# language constructs to java code which are not available in java and this will be achieved by CodePorting C#2Java intelligent engine. Unsigned and signed data types contains same amount of memory in C#. C# provides eight predefined signed and unsigned integer types whereas Java has four signed integer types and no unsigned ones.

CodePorting C#2Java automatically converts C#’s unsigned integer types to higher signed types. This eliminates the chances of data loss in arithmetic operations.

Following example converts C# unsigned integer type to java:

C# Code:

namespace C#2Java.Samples.Convert.UnsignedArithmetic.UInt

{

public class UnsignedArithematic

{

void Method(long l, uint u)

{

l = MethodReturnsUInt();

l = u + MethodReturnsUInt();

u = MethodReturnsUInt();

l = MethodReturnsUIntArray()[0];

}

uint MethodReturnsUInt()

{

return 42;

}

uint[] MethodReturnsUIntArray()

{

uint[] uints = { 42, 127, 155 };

return uints;

}

Java Code Generated by CodePorting:

package C#2Java.Samples.Convert.UnsignedArithmetic.UInt;

// ********* THIS FILE IS AUTO PORTED FORM C# USING CODEPORTING.COM *********

public class UnsignedArithematic

{

private void method(long l, /*uint*/long u)

{

l = (methodReturnsUInt() & 0xFFFFFFFFL);

l = (u & 0xFFFFFFFFL) + (methodReturnsUInt() & 0xFFFFFFFFL);

u = methodReturnsUInt();

l = (methodReturnsUIntArray()[0] & 0xFFFFFFFFL);

}

private /uint/long methodReturnsUInt()

{

return 42;

}

private /uint/long[] methodReturnsUIntArray()

{

/uint/long[] uints = { 42, 127, 155 };

return uints;

}

It is clear for the above example that CodePorting C#2Java engine intelligently converts the C# unsigned data types to higher signs in java codes to avoid any data loss accuracy.

Press Release: Carbon Design Systems Unveils Off-the-Shelf Performance Analysis for ARM Cortex-A Processors

Carbon Design Systems — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:51:12 +0000

Carbon Design Systems® Inc., the leading supplier of virtual platform and secure model solutions, today introduced the Carbon Performance Analysis Kit (CPAK) family for accelerating the analysis, optimization and verification of system-on-chip (SoC) performance.

CPAKs enable architects and engineers to begin analyzing performance and power within hours of installation, and months before tapeout, reducing overall time-to-market pressures and minimizing the risk of a complete re-design. They can be customized using models from Carbon's IP Exchange model portal, SystemC or Carbon Model Studio.

The CPAK family for ARM® Cortex™ A-Series processors contains reference hardware and software designs along with analysis and debug software for the Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 cores, and the ARM big.LITTLE™ subsystem.

It comes pre-configured with bare-metal initialization software, Linux or Android OS for analyzing, optimizing and verifying performance and power. In addition, the CPAK Family is pre-configured with the multicore task migration software layer between the big.LITTLE processing cluster, which includes ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore and Cortex-A7 MPCore processors, and the client OS.

"Designers often attempt to use 85-90% cycle-accurate solutions that they claim are good enough for system analysis," comments Joe Tatham, Carbon's vice president of engineering. "What typically happens, though, is that model is only 50-60% accurate for certain areas. Designers are making multi-million dollar decisions based upon data that's about as accurate as the flip of a coin. Carbon is the only vendor that offers 100% cycle-accurate models, where design teams can guarantee performance results will match the final silicon, minimizing the risk of a re-design."

Demonstrations During DAC

Carbon will demonstrate the CPAK for ARM big.LITTLE at this year's Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco's Moscone Center June 4-6. Carbon will exhibit and offer presentations in the ARM Connected Community Pavilion, Booth #802.

Availability

The CPAK Family for ARM Cortex Processors will be available in bare metal and Linux configurations in the second quarter of calendar year 2012, and in Android configurations in the second half of calendar 2012.

"We continue to maintain our leadership position by supplying the broadest range of accelerated virtual verification environments," affirms Luc Burgun, EVE's chief executive officer and president, who adds that more than 30 virtual debug environments are available for ZeBu. "These application-specific debug solutions offer design teams the ability to lead their markets with working silicon faster than their competition."

(EVE also announced today a variety of new software to expand the capabilities of ZeBu, including power-aware verification, post-run debugging, two vertical application validation platforms, low-power and Flash memory models, and ESL tool interfaces. See news release titled, "EVE Adds New Applications for Leading SoC Emulation Platform Environment," for details.)

e-zTest 10GbE supports half- and full-duplex modes, variable frame lengths and inter-frame gap modeling. Application programming interfaces allow easy integration with user testbenches as well as commercial Ethernet test generation and protocol analysis applications. The e-zTest 10GbE frame monitoring and capture environment allows exporting frames in Packet Capture (PCAP) format, and is compatible with the open source Wireshark toolkit for network packet analysis. PCAP files also support Ethernet frame generators such as packETH and Tcpreplay to stimulate the design under test (DUT) deterministically using captured network traffic.

EVE provides accelerated SoC transaction-based verification for hardware and software developers who access ZeBu as a network resource to leading semiconductor, communications, video, and portable and stationary consumer product companies. ZeBu provides a library of off-the-shelf, synthesizable emulation virtual components to debug GbE, 10GbE, PCIe, USB, video/HDMI, I2C, I2S and AMBA protocols and integration with virtual platform development environments for pre-silicon software development. EVE's ZEMI-3 product generates custom, synthesizable transactors for user custom protocols.

Typical projects achieve verification speeds that range from five-to-15 MegaHertz with ZeBu-Blade2 and ZeBu-Server. With Smart Debug, ZeBu provides 100% accessibility into the device under test and a hierarchical debug methodology to trace problems.

EVE will offer demonstrations of the ZeBu SoC hardware-assisted verification platform family in Booth #1926 at the 49th Design Automation Conference (DAC) June 4-6 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Press Release: Introducing the NanoVTV video scan converter from Advanced Micro Peripherals

Advanced Micro Peripherals — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:29:47 +0000

New York, USA and Cambridge, England, May 16 2012 - Advanced Micro Peripherals (AMP), a leading manufacturer of embedded video solutions, is delighted to announce the introduction of its NanoVTV video scan converter.

Smaller than a credit card, the NanoVTV packs a host of advanced features and converts computer VGA signals into high quality PAL/NTSC/RSI170 to drive a comprehensive range of electronic displays.

Despite its compact size, the NanoVTV is both rugged and robust. It delivers consistent high-quality video scan conversion and is almost miserly in its low power consumption. The NanoVTV also requires minimal configuration and is low maintenance.

Ideally suited for multi-purpose displays in fighting vehicles, illuminated panels, aircraft and avionics displays and display systems for simulators, the NanoVTV gives systems integrators, embedded display system designers and specialists involved in aircraft or ground vehicle upgrades access to industry leading, versatile video scan conversion.

Commenting, Lee Foss, Founder and CEO of Advanced Micro Peripherals said: “Our aim is to provide the highest quality video solutions that are low power, utterly reliable, high quality and low maintenance and the NanoVTV is a prime example of achieving that objective.

“We also offer comprehensive software support tools to minimise the time to market as well as full technical support from Advanced Micro Peripherals’ video experts.”

Unlike conventional scan converters, the NanoVTV features on-board Frame Store and a DSP unit which performs scan conversion, flicker filtering, scaling and colour space conversion in the digital domain.

The NanoVTV features a board micro controller allowing it to operate completely standalone without run-time control from an external system. The settings of the card can be modified via a serial link and application-specific configuration can be stored to the non-volatile storage of the card.

Press Release: iC-LO: optical triangulation position sensor with ambient light suppression for up to 13.9 kHz switching frequencies

iC-Haus — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:01:16 +0000

The new iC-LO device is a triangulation position sensor specifically designed as a system on chip for the assembly of diffuse reflective photoelectric sensors with switching outputs. Thanks to the high integration of the functions, which includes the photodiodes, LED driver, microcontroller interface, signal conditioning circuitry, and signal filter unit, the overall system is extremely small. Besides the iC-LO, all that is needed to create a triangulation measurement setup are a transmitting LED and a low-cost microcontroller.

The specially designed optical array is divided into one near diode, 127 middle diodes, and one far diode. Two AC amplifiers are integrated together with the optical array to enable high interference and ambient light suppression and a dynamic range of up to 100 dB. Using a filter glass, an ambient light suppression of up to 100 kLux can be obtained.

The number of averaged measurements can be set to digitally filter the signals with measurement rates of up to 13.9 kHz. The integrated lowside LED driver generates transmitting pulse currents of up to 1.2 A. An external laser diode driver can also be activated for laser triangulation. The pulse duration of the illumination signal can be set through the SPI interface.

Data is output through two antivalent switching outputs and an additional output for the weak received light alarm. Alternatively, the SPI interface implemented for the configuration of the device can be used to output sensor results and states to a field bus interface through a microcontroller.

iC-LO operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V in an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The 15-pin optoBGA package can be used with SMDs and requires just approximately 4 mm x 9 mm of board space. The design-in process is supported by ready-to-operate demo boards and software for evaluation with a PC.
