Optimizing next-gen machine vision
platform to enhance automated inspection 6
This article shows how specialized
embedded computer hardware prod-
ucts are able to simplify dramatically
the task of machine vision in various
industries.
electronica - more than 2,800 exhibitors
and an extensive supporting program 10
The International Trade Fair for Elec-
tronic Components, Systems and
Applications, electronica, will be held
from November 8 to 11, featuring this
year an additional hall and thus occu-
pying a total of 13 halls at the Messe
München trade-fair center. However,
that is not the only new development
at electronica 2016.
Oscilloscope for complex measurement
tasks and multi-domain applications
32
Developers of electronic designs want
to perform complex measurement
tasks quickly and successfully. And they
also want to do so with a powerful,
highly versatile and intuitive lab oscillo-
scope. The new R&S RTO2000 oscillo-
scope gives them what they need.
Code coverage in automated
test of embedded systems
35
By means of code coverage, it is not complicated to determine test
quality in parallel to software and system tests on real hardware.
In any case, a continuous and seamless workflow for the software
and system testing, which logically requires open interfaces for effi-
cient tool coupling, is essential for correct and reliable results.
Multi-protocol controller for Industry 4.0 38
With the R-IN Engine architecture
described in this article, a device
can process both network commu-
nications and complex applications
simultaneously, with extremely low
delays, low jitter and minimum power
consumption. Thus a multi-protocol
industrial automation product can be
simply implemented using a flexible,
low-cost R-IN single-device approach.
New COM Standard SMARC 2.0
starts with Apollo Lake
44
At the beginning of June, the Standardization Group for Embed-
ded Technologies (SGET) released the new SMARC 2.0 specifi-
cation. congatec is offering its first modules for this form factor
equipped with the new Intel Atom, Celeron and Pentium proces-
sors developed under the code name Apollo Lake.
