Customers

Our customers cover almost all fields of industry and science, and range in size from one-person operations to Fortune 500 companies. They include a growing number of VARs and OEMs (Value Added Resellers and Original Equipment Manufacturers).

For customers large or small, reseller or end user, we offer a unique approach to PC-based data acquisition. You can see for yourself how some of our customers use this in their applications.

Products

Microstar Laboratories produces a line of Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) boards, each with an onboard processor, memory, and a dedicated, multitasking, real-time operating system: DAPL. With this onboard intelligence, a DAP board can handle time-critical aspects of an application without any delays or resource demands imposed by Windows or by other software running on the PC.

Applications require onboard intelligence to run in real time under Windows. However, onboard intelligence also makes it much easier to implement applications requiring a high channel count, anti-aliasing, or synchronized integration over a network.

As well as providing DAPL software to run on DAP boards, we develop and ship PC software to support DAP boards in many user environments. All our design follows a channel architecture that makes it easy to connect our hardware to a large array of sensors and actuators.

Support

Microstar Laboratories provides complete technical support to each customer. When you first call us, an application engineer examines how well our products fit your proposed application. If our products do not fit, we say so. If our products fit, we work with you until your application runs as planned.

Hardware and software engineers work with application engineers to provide the technical support you need to reach your goals.

To talk about your application, call us toll free in the United States, at 888 MSTARLABS (678-2752). Outside the United States, email us or contact one of our international distributors.
