First Upgrade of PDA-Based VSA-1212 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer -Datastick Software Upgrades for Both Its PDA and Desktop PC Software Programs Provide Enhanced Display of High Frequencies and Faster Operation During Vibration Collection and Analysis
Datastick Systems, Inc., shipped performance upgrades of both software components of its PDA-based VSA-1212 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer for predictive and condition-based maintenance, announced Michael Scandling, Vice President of Marketing, from the company's headquarters in Silicon Valley today.
The new version 1.2 of Datastick(R) Spectrum software for the PDA provides a maximum frequency of 10,000 Hz with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum displays of 400, 800, and 1600 lines. FFTs are now calculated up to three times faster than before, and time-domain waveforms are now displayed at resolutions up to 3200 points.
"Datastick Spectrum's upgrade improves the display of higher frequencies -- the frequencies that most often indicate faults in rolling-element bearings. This is crucially important in troubleshooting and diagnosing machine health problems quickly to prevent costly breakdowns, especially of mission-critical equipment," said Mr. Scandling. "We are sending free upgrades to all our customers."
In addition to hardware that attaches to the Palm OS(R) PDA, and Datastick Spectrum software for Palm OS handheld computers, the VSA-1212 system includes companion desktop PC software: Datastick Reporting System(TM) for VSA for Windows(R)-compatible PCs.
OnHand wrist PDA - The last time we heard anything about the OnHand wrist PDA was probably close to two years ago. So, given its almost complete lack of marketing, distribution, buzz or sales, we're not exactly surprised that manufacturer Matsucom has decided to call it quits and stop producing the device, which managed to incorporate a full set of PDA functions into a fairly ugly watch. More over at Engadget.
On new Palms - Tams Palm reports on forthcoming developments and rumors on forthcoming Palm devices. "We didnt write much about the Treo 700p recently. And nope, we didn’t receive a “stfu pill”, we simply dont know anything worth to share. However, since today seems to be a very slow day in terms of news, what about a bit of speculation?"
