WinDriver USB software used by Fourier Systems
Learn how Fourier Systems, a leading developer and manufacturers of data acquisition devices, used Jungo's WinDriver USB to easily and effectively implement USB data streaming between their state of the art Nova5000 learning aid and a host PC. Fourier Systems Ltd., established in 1989, develops, manufactures and markets advanced and award winning data acquisition systems, for education and industry. Fourier Systems' products support 19 languages and distributed to industries and science education facilities worldwide, including USA, Singapore, Russia, Spain, UK and Latin America. Education computing had become one of the most emphasized issues in the past several years. Universities, schools and laboratories worldwide are investing in efforts designed to improve their technological infrastructure and provide the students and researchers better measurement and analysis aids.
 Fourier Systems' Nova5000 is a first of a kind learning aid that combines the performance and functionality of a laptop, with the size and cost of a handheld computer.
Nova5000 runs WinCE 5.0 operating systems, it has Built-in WiFi 802.11b support, Ethernet port, 12 bit input sensor interface, CompactFlash card slot and more. Nova5000 also has 2 USB host ports that enable the connection of USB devices to it, that are currently used to connect HID and Mass Storage devices to it, and also USB slave port, that enable the user to connect it to a host PC. Fourier Systems chose Jungo's WinDriver USB to implement USB connectivity between the Nova5000 and a host PC. This feature is required in order to transfer data to or from a PC, which runs other analysis programs and can hold archives of recorded data.
Fourier Systems requirements included implementing data steaming between the Nova5000 and a host PC via a USB connection, while developing using a user mode wizard. Another major requirement was to simplifying the development as possible, to shorten time to market. Support for WinCE was required as future planning for new features and capabilities that may be added to the Nova5000.
WinDriver offered a fast driver development solution via a graphical user interface and an intuitive user mode wizard, easing the development and minimizing the time to market. WinDriver supports several other operating systems, among them WinCE. This can later be used to manifest the Nova5000 USB Host capabilities, and able the user to connect other custom USB devices to it. About WinDriver™
