What Design & Test Technology Does

We design complex test instrumentation to meet a customers' specific requirements.  Our services are often required due to the lack of off-the-shelf commercial equipment that meet the task requirements.  The applications vary from the R&D lab environment to the production floor.

Typical Application Requirements from Our End Users

A typical application requires an analog front-end to detect low level complex signals in a noisy background.  This instrument will usually employ embedded processing and custom algorithms based on DSP techniques for the collection and pre-qualification of the raw data.  The resulting information is presented to a workstation via a high speed link, typically Ethernet. Only the data of interest is shown to the user – the background noise and much of the “non-relevant” data can often be filtered out by the embedded electronics and pre-processing.

For some clients with high volume production requirements, we have delivered arrays of parallel test stations mounted in rugged, compact test stands.  

Working with Design & Test provides a number of benefits

At D&TT, we are focused on our customer's unique requirements.  The end instrument will be designed to be the correct fit for the specified needs without needless complexity. We first determine what is being measured, what the data looks like, and what result is desired. We are not limited to a single suite of tools. Only then do we choose the technology and algorithms required to design and build the equipment, fixtures and user interface while, of course, staying within budget.

• Complex projects can be initiated and completed without adding to the work load of your permanent staff.
• Project costs can be more easily contained and controlled.
• Expertise is available in a number of disciplines, including electronics, electro-mechanical design, precision electro-mechanical mechanisms, and control and interface software.  The final design is driven by the end user’s requirements, not by pre-existing solutions.

High Volume Production Support

At Design & Test, we are experienced with providing support for high volume production processes where thousands of products or assemblies are manufactured and tested in a typical shift. Our rugged industrialized test systems are both effective and efficient - providing critical analysis in an easy to use format.  Real time logging permits current data to be viewed on the corporate LAN/Intranet.

Working To Assure the Success of Your New Product

With most new product launches come a series of manufacturing challenges:

• continual cost reduction;
• increased productivity requirements;
• shortened time-to-market.

Design & Test Technology has helped manufacturers meet these objectives and looks forward to working with your company to help you achieve your goals.
