B&W Rugged Carrying Case from The Debug Store

B&W Rugged Carrying Case from The Debug Store

How often have you needed to carry electronic equipment on site to test or commission installations?  Doing so carries the real risk of the test equipment being damaged.  The cost of this can be very expensive in terms of material cost, time lost and damage to business reputation

The Debug Store now carries a range of rugged carrying cases which are both water and air-tight to protect your most valuable equipment.  We even have a range of cases which can be carried over the shoulder, as a back pack or pulled along with integral wheels.

Each internals of each case can be self-modified to protect your equipment both in transit and use.  Each case has been tested successfully by dropping onto a concrete floor from 3 metres and is water tight to a depth of 5m.  Every case is also guaranteed for life.

Each case is manufactured from durable ABS and has stainless steel fittings to avoid the ravages of harsh environments.

SuperPro-Z – Low Cost EPROM Programmer

October 28th, 2009
SuperPro-Z EPROM Programmer

SuperPro-Z EPROM Programmer

I have been asked many times recently to help customers find a low cost EPROM programmer.

We have many customers in the gaming industry who need to re-programme EPROMs in their machines with the latest configuration information and they do not really want to spend hundreds of pounds on a Universal programmer.

We now have a solution in stock – the SuperPro-Z device programmer from Xeltek.  Priced at only £145 plus VAT it is ideal!

It connects to the host PC via a parallel (printer) port connector and can either program EPROMs by uploading an existing EPROM to copy or program from an industry standard data file in Intel hex,  S-record or binary format.

We can also supply UV EPROM Erasers from stock should you wish to reprogram an existing device, saving the cost of a new EPROM.  After all, the EPROM was designed to be used in this way.

The Debug Store is pleased to announce the addition of full USB class-level decoding to the free Data Center™ Software supplied with the Beagle 12 and Beagle USB 480 USB Protocol Analysers.

Class-level decoding is provided in real time which allows data communications to be analysed between specific USB class types such as a USB mouse (HID)  or data storage or audio devices.  Such facilities have, until now only been available on far more expensive analysers.

New Cordless 6W Soldering Iron in Stock

modPRO MP-61 Cordless Soldering Iron

modPRO MP-61 Cordless Soldering Iron

The MP-61 is a really useful addition to the electronic engineers’ and hobbyists’ toolkit.

The 6W iron heats up in just 60 seconds and will remain at full temperature for up to an hour on one set of batteries.

The heating element is buried in the miniature probe tip, iron and chromium plated for long life and supplied pretinned so it can be used out of the box.

If you are working away from a mains power supply and need to solder, then this tool is for you.  It is small enough to fit into your briefcase or laptop case and its protective cap allows the tip to rapidly cool down after use in safety.  No longer do you need to use a gas powered iron for such work.  The MP-61 is much safer!

For full details of the MP-61, go now to The Debug Store.

Paradigm C++ Supports PC USB Interface

August 5th, 2009

If you are using Paradigm C++ to develop embedded x86 real and protected mode applications you may be interested to know that the application can now communicate with the target PC via a USB interface in addition to the traditional RS232 serial interface.

You just need to install the USB interface on your PC then select the Communication Dialog with Paradigm C++ to select the serial interface that the new USB device has been linked to.

If you already have a USB interface, you can run the MS Windows Device Manager and change the COM port that the USB interface has been assigned to.

We have been using this method for some time now as most new PCs are not fitted with a RS232 comms port.

If you are developing applications with a USB interface you will almost always need to verify that communications are working correctly between your application and host or slave USB device.

USB Bus Analysers from large test equipment manufacturers can be prohibitively expensive.  The Beagle USB 480 is capable of analysing a USB v2 bus at full speed and it is small enough to fit into your pocket.  It simply plugs into your PC or Laptop via a USB cable and is driven by the Total Phase Data Center Software.  The software is supplied free of charge and updates can be downloaded free as well.
