Consulting Services
Amherst
System Associates Inc. is an engineering consultation firm specializing
in the development and application of technologies for high-precision
waveform timing and measurement. All of our technical consultation
deals in some way with timing-environment design, analysis, debugging
or characterization and measurement. We have provided consultation to
computer systems, semiconductor, processor, test-equipment and other
organizations engaging in high-speed digital electronics/measurement
throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the Asia/Pacific
region. The systems involved in this work have ranged from
Pentium™-based servers and workstations to mainframe and multiple
processor supercomputers, as well as parametric test equipment.
The consultations include:
- Clock & Timing
- Waveform Stability
- High-Precision Time-Interval Measurement
- PLL Characterization
- Design
- Automation Architecture
- Rescues
- Fix
a broken design (or process), or bless a design prior to launch when
certain last minute concerns or flaws are discovered/suspected. High
diagnostic content.
- Process Audits
- Examine
what a customer is doing and bring them up to the best practices of the
day, while noting and retaining what they are already doing well.
- TE Business Sector Consulting - Approximately
40% of the consults we have taken since the early 90's have been
focussed upon the timing-environment design business sector. These have
ranged from semiconductor (e.g. clock-distribution devices) product
launches to issues around timing measurement.
As a result of our consultative experience, ASA has developed a software tool (M1 OT™ )
to facilitate the ultra-precise real-time measurement and analysis of
waveform stability, and has integrated this into custom waveform
stability analysis systems.
