Design cubical power panels, desk type control and instrumentation panels, floor type control and instrumentation panels. A key tool to design ‘Contorl & Relay Panels’ using PLCs and SCADA system.

Draw Electrical Circuit
The software lets you draw any type of complecated electrical power and control circuit/diagram. You draw horizontal and vertical lines and put electrical symbols upon the lines to complete your electrical (power or control) circuit. Cross over points are automatically converted into shorting-links or may be changed to jumpers or vise-a-versa. The software contains almost all the symboles in its library required to generate electrical power and control circuits. Label all the electrical symboles through a pop up text box – just enter the name/specification of the item and put it near the the symbol. Put ferrul numbering on each wire as per your convenience and requirement. Give color to all the lines as red (R), yellow (Y) and blue (B). Default line color is black i.e., neutral (N). Select line thickness to differenciate between power and control wiring. Rotate electrical symboles by 90 deg or back to best suit the placement upon the power lines. Delete any electrical symbol or power line with right mouse operation. So this software can generate elctrical power and control circuits in semi automatic mode.

You get a detailed estimation and costing detail in the word formate for easy printout and distribution. Change item cost, panel board painting and fabrication cost, bus bar cost, labour cost, margin profit as per your system and set up.

Printouts
Take printouts of the complete design along with detailed bill of materials, estimation & costing sheet, general layout, single line diagrame (auto-generation) and finally complete circuit diagram (semi-auto mode). When you have completed the design part and would like to know the cost of your panel, options are there to see the individual costs of busbars and panels

About Computer-aided Software Engineering (case) Tools And Their Limitations

Software blogger

With progressive developments in Information Technology (IT), there has been a significant expansion in the purview of software development support tools. From tools purely for the purpose of development of software like debuggers, code analyzers, editors et al, the focus has gradually shifted to CASE tools, acronym for Computer Aided Software Engineering tools, with more sturdy and capable computers in wide use.

Per se, the process of custom software programming typically involves analysis, design, documentation and eventual code generation in a particular language followed by maintenance of the software viz. version updating and so on. Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools automate the methods for these processes and hence
Quicken the process of development of software
Ease the maintenance of any software
Apply an engineering approach to the entire software development and maintenance process.

But naturally, CASE tools make up the integral part of todays custom software development services.

In tandem with the various stages of development of software, there are various CASE tools available for use, which are implemented both collectively and individually during custom software programming, depending upon the discretion of the various custom software development services. The various CASE tools typically used by custom software development services include,

Data Modeling tools
Configuration Management tools
Source code generation tools
Model transformation tools
Refactoring tools
Unified Modeling Language

Beyond doubt, CASE tools are generally very helpful in easing the entire process of software development and integration. However, there are some prevalent issues as well that keep the software development and user communities vigilant, namely,

Lack of standardisation across different CASE tools developer companies may hamper smooth communication/ integration between different CASE tools.

Impractical expectations out of CASE technology are another major handicap as developers tend to confuse its use for substantially cheaper development of software , which is not true. Also, developers cannot always expect quickened implementations of the developed software, especially when implementing CASE technology into a traditional software development environment.

Unreliable access control to CASE repositories typically makes the custom software programming vulnerable to security breaches or damages to documentation, code and system design.

Silent Subliminal Audio Creator Software

Software blogger

Of all of the various self-improvement resources I make available, one of the most popular and one of those which I receive many questions and requests about are products for achieving altered states of consciousness and accessing the infinite powers of the subconscious mind including Subliminal messages of which much has been written in recent years. Anyone who has watched a show by Derren Brown or other “mentalist” will know just how powerful Subliminals can be.

Subliminals work by bypassing the analytical, questioning, often sceptical conscious Mind, to impress needs, wishes and desires directly upon the subconscious mind which will then proceed to externalise those needs, wishes and desires without question.

There are two main types of Subliminal, Audio, which are affirmations entering the ear at a sound frequency just above that perceptible by the conscious mind, and Visual, which enter the eyes at a visual frequency too high for the conscious Mind to assimilate,but which the Subconscious Mind can easily perceive, understand and take action on.

This week therefore I have prepared for newsletter subscribers a special Silent Subliminal Audio package that includes the following:

1. Audacity audio editing software – the very latest version

2. My own Silent Subliminal Audio plug-in. This was designed based on a very advanced and proven mathematical formula, and which moves the audio frequency of recorded affirmations to just above the frequency of conscious human hearing.

To my knowledge this is the only genuine Silent Audio Subliminal generator available. All others I am aware of that claim to do this are simply masking audible affirmations played at a low level, under other sound such as music, background sounds or white noise. These are not true silent subliminals.

3.There is a 206 page fully illustrated Mind Power Studio step by step user guide, which includes chapters on how to install and use this powerful component as well as 6 chapters of information on: Affirmations and Subliminal Messages, Binaural Beats, Concentration, Creating your own Reality, Deep Physical Relaxation, the law of attraction.

XCPUScalar — Treo 700 Software Review

Software blogger

Pros:

– Increased speed OR – Increased battery life – User customizable options – Great support – $17.95 price is more than fair for what the product offers

Cons:

– manufacturers may have warranty issues with XCPUScalar – drop down menus are a little small

Overall Impression:

I’ve been running XCPUScalar on several devices since version 2.5 and have had nothing but good things to report about it since that time.

If you’re a power Treo 700 user looking to save time and speed up your device, you should consider buying the XCPUScalar utility software by ImmierSoft.

Your videos, games and other multimedia software will speed up dramatically with this application and your battery life will improve significantly at times when the load on your CPU is not as demanding.
