Application Software Development
Drawbridge Engineers have proven experience creating and implementing custom software solutions for a wide variety of applications, written in the appropriate language for the application. Working closely with the clients allows to focus on the Requirements Specifications that set the guidelines to ensure that we meet expectations; thus keeping costs to a minimum.
In situations when the target product is not available, Drawbridge develops models to simulate the target environment that the software will integrate with. Design errors can be detected and corrected early when working closely with the hardware design team by providing feedback from observations made while creating the model.
Recent Projects
Parkinson's Disease Diagnostics
Customer Challenge: Design a system which allows simultaneous monitoring of the electrical activities of the brain and wrist muscles while the patient draws patterns on a Pen PC.
Drawbridge Solution: Create an interface using DAQmx to monitor the electrical signals while detecting triggers from the Pen PC. All signals plus a video have precise timestamp information to allow synchronizing the collected data.
Additional Projects |
Dev. Platform | Industry | Project Type | Project Summary |
Guidance System Simulator | LabVIEW, CAN | Agricultural | HIL | Expand SummaryDeveloped a LabVIEW-based system to simulate a vehicle using the actual guidance system based on the GPS simulation. The simulator was augmented by creating two simultaneously-functioning, coordinated instances representing a vehicle pulling an implement. The size and shape of the fields were determined from satellite images. |
Laser Lens Polishing Machine | LabVIEW, Motion toolkit | Optical | HIL | Expand SummaryDeveloped software to predict the resulting surface of a lens based on actual surface scans, nozzle selection and desired flatness. Once the predicted surface is acceptable, the software controls the motion of step motors to move a spray nozzle across the lens based on the set parameters. |
Production Monitor | LabVIEW, DAQ | Food | HIL | Expand SummaryCreated the hardware and software solution to obtain downtime data on a production line by monitoring the voltage to the motors driving the line. The software provides statistical data on line interruptions. |
Aeromagnetic Survey System | LabVIEW, DAQ | Mining | HIL | Expand SummaryImproved an existing helicopter electromagnetic survey system using NI hardware (PXI chassis with 24 bit DAQ). The original software was converted from C to LabVIEW and the spectral recordings were displayed in color. An electromagnetic pulse would create a ground-based spectrum that was measured by an antenna and recorded by the DAQ system. |
Front Panel Web Publishing | LabVIEW, HTML, Java Script | Housing | Remote Control | Expand SummaryDuplicated the Front Panel of a LabVIEW GUI to HTML code that allowed a smart device (tablet or phone) to control the LabVIEW application remotely via a web page. |

Featured Case Study
In this White Paper, we cover the popular software development process models, which describe the sequence of phases for the entire lifetime of a product and why it is important to follow the model.
