LabVIEW Real-Time: When to Opt for RT and When to Stick to PC
There’s a moment in nearly every test system kickoff when someone asks, “Should we go Real-Time for this?” or “Why are we using real-time for this?” These are fair questions, and they deserve more than a knee-jerk answer. At DMC, we’ve seen both ends of the spectrum—from rugged cRIO deployments in wind tunnels to PC-based…

ADG Mission Critical Applications: Quality Matters
In Aerospace, Defense, and Government (ADG) projects, quality is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Failure is simply not an option in mission-critical ADG applications. However, “quality” is a complex concept: if applied too rigidly, it can lead to costly delays and budget overruns. Achieving the right balance requires a deep understanding of the software engineering…

ADG Mission Critical Applications: Turning Your Vision Into Reality
Projects in Aerospace, Defense, and Government (ADG) sectors demand unwavering reliability—failure is not an option. At DMC, we understand that designs are only meaningful if they result in real, working systems. In the high-stakes world of mission-critical applications, the implementation phase is just as important as planning. It’s not enough to simply follow a plan—we…

Power HIL Test Stand for an Autonomous Air Vehicle
DMC worked with the client to model, simulate, and physically emulate their battery pack. This allowed them to validate and assess their Battery Management System (BMS) and find the best way to deliver goods to customers safely using drones. DMC developed a power Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulator, which allows the client to safely…

DMC Attends First Annual NIDays Event
DMC was proud to participate in NIDays North America this fall. The inaugural event condensed the traveling NI Technical Symposiums into a much larger multi-track event that was held in a number of select cities. DMC was lucky enough to have both of our office locations, Chicago and Boston, selected as host cities. DMC took…

Battery Stack Simulator for Hardware in the Loop (HIL) Testing of Electric Vehicles
The battery stack simulator system provides a turn-key instrument for simulating up to 96 battery cells voltages. The system requires no initial configuration. It uses a simple uniform command set which can be sent over CAN, serial RS-232, or TCP/IP Ethernet busses. This functionality makes it ideal for integrating into existing HIL test systems, such as those…
