Embedded Office: starterkits facilitate
entry into certification projects
Embedded Office is offering pre-certified
components in the form of its Cert-Kits
that support manufacturers of safety-rele-
vant systems in accordance with the stan-
dards IEC62304, IEC61508 and EN50128 in
standard-compliant development. To enable
users to get started quickly in their certifica-
tion projects, Embedded Office is now offer-
ing so called ‘starterkits’. These starterkits
are executable systems, which allow users to
immediately commence the development of a
certification project.
Wibu-Systems: CodeMeter Embedded
Driver 1.7 protects embedded systems
Wibu-Systems have released the new Code-
Meter Embedded Driver 1.7 for protecting
embedded systems, programmable logic con-
trollers and industrial PCs. As know-how is
nestled more and more within device soft-
ware, manufacturers can protect their IP with
CodeMeter, a comprehensive solution against
reverse-engineering that licenses and signs
the program code, thus securing their com-
petitive advantage.
Saelig: 25MHz digital oscil-
loscope-in-a-probe
Saelig announces the new Owon RDS1021
Wave Rambler - a new, USB pen scope that
packs the features of a high performance
bench top oscilloscope in a small, lightweight
and ergonomic probe that fits perfectly in the
hand. Used with the included PC software,
the RDS1021 Wave Rambler converts any
laptop or desktop PC into a powerful oscillo-
scope without the need for additional probes
or power supplies. The Wave Rambler dis-
plays signals from 5mV to 50V. It features FFT
capabilities, so it can be used for displaying
the frequency characteristics of a signal.
Cyan and GridSense team up to provide
end to end smart grid solutions
Cyan has signed a teaming agreement with
GridSense to jointly market smart grid solu-
tions in India and other emerging regions
that will enable utilities to accurately monitor
energy distribution and consumption all the
way from the distribution transformer to the
meter in the consumer’s home, supporting the
reduction in power losses and increased rev-
enues.
Nuvoton launches 32-bit
MCUs with dual CAN bus
Nuvoton launched the new generation
NuMicro NUC230/240 series in 2014. The
NUC230/240 series runs up to 72 MHz
and features two CANs, USB 2.0 full-speed
device, up to six high-speed UARTs, 800
kSPS high conversion 12 bit ADCs and
embedded 22.1184MHz ±3% high-preci-
sion oscillator working at -40 to +105 . The
NUC230/240 series is embedded with two
CANs, 800 kSPS high conversion 12 bit
ADCs, and embedded 22.1184MHz ±3%
high-precision oscillator, which is suitable
for industrial control or elevator equipment
transportation.
