Pansco, Ltd
The Snapshot cable checker gives professionals and layman the ability to check cables instantly upon plug-in, with no buttons pressed or displays read. With its built-in memory, the Snapshot simply checks each cable plugged in against a correctly-configured cable pre-set by the user, and indicates the cable’s status with a sound. For pin-by-pin cable checking, the 〝standard check〞mode offers a plain LED-displayed check of the cable’s pins, checked automatically or manually. The Snapshot also generates a tone along the length of cables, making finding and following the cable with a tone probe a snap. A remote unit allows testing of already-installed cables, and a built-in line tester verifies phone line polarity and detects voltage before it threatens the safety of the test unit. A shield-test feature automatically tests cable shielding and a battery-low indicator prevents misreading results.

STAR-Dundee
The SpaceWire PCI Mk2 is a 3 SpaceWire port interface device, which can also act as a router, that succeeds the successful SpaceWire PCI-2 card. New features include the introduction of a packet generator in the hardware. This allows the card to generate SpaceWire packets at high speeds without using the host PC’s resources. Similarly, a new packet checker has also been added to the hardware design. The high performance driver boasts a full API which allows the user to control all functions of the card, supporting C and C++. Both the API and board design are common across several other STAR-Dundee devices. This makes it easy and quick to migrate user application software across different platforms. The board also supports field upgrades, such that any future revisions or a requested customisation can be downloaded from the STAR-Dundee website and installed.

Verified Systems International GMBH
The test system cluster architecture is based on dual CPU or 4-CPU PCs acting as cluster nodes. The nodes communicate and synchronise over a high-speed network (Myrinet or InfiniBand). A modification of the Linux operating system allows to run the test execution and evaluation algorithms in hard real-time on reserved CPUs, where scheduling is non-preemptive and controlled by the test system itself. The interrupts caused by interfaces to the system under test may be relayed to CPUs designated explicitly for their handling. This approach offers the opportunity to utilise high-performance standard hardware and the services provided by the widely accepted Linux operating system in combination with all mechanisms required for hard real-time computing. The cluster architecture presents an opportunity to distribute interfaces with high data throughput on different nodes, so that PCI bus overload can be avoided. In addition, the CPU load can be balanced by allocating test data generators, environment simulations and checkers for the behaviour of the system under test ("test oracles") on dedicated CPUs.
