Pendulum Instruments CNT-90 Measurement Device

"There is a constant push from the market to combine short development times, low development and production costs with the best possible performance. To meet these high requirements, we needed an RTOS that combines good realtime behavior with a cost-effective, non-royalty based pricing model, while at the same time, brings us up to speed with what we do best: develop the high performance and high speed measurements our customers expect. Together with the flexibility to add auxiliary non-critical, ready-made functionality such as TCP/IP and good quality development tools, we selected the Nucleus RTOS as our software of choice." --Staffan Johansson, vice president of sales and marketing , Pendulum Instruments

Pendulum Chooses Nucleus RTOS for CNT-90 Timer/Counter/Analyzer Instrument

Pendulum Instruments AB is a Swedish innovation company focused on solutions for calibration, measurement and analysis of time and frequency as well as related parameters. The company is one of the world's leading suppliers of frequency counters, and number one in Europe. Pendulum is a spin-off company from Philips T&M division, with over 40 years experience in the test and measurement business.

CNT-90

The CNT-90 is a tool for measurement, analysis and calibration of frequency, time interval or phase. Whether in test systems, on the R&D bench, in the calibration lab or out in the field, the CNT-90 is the state-of-the-art timer/counter/analyzer and outperforms any existing counter on the market. The CNT-90 is the worlds fastest timer/counter/analyzer and offers a unique ease-of-use with graphical display and improved control over measurement at an outstanding price.

Pendulum's Selection of Nucleus for the CNT-90

Developers at Pendulum began looking for a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a rich feature set and highly optimized performance combined with a royalty-free licensing model. They quickly chose the Nucleus RTOS because it contained all of these features. Robust and scalable, the Nucleus RTOS provided a solid and reliable foundation from which to build the CNT-90 measurement device.

The Nucleus RTOS consists of a wide variety of feature-rich, add-on middleware components including prototyping tools, real-time kernels, TCP/IP protocol stack, portable graphics software package and development tools. Each are tightly integrated so the entire RTOS package runs seamlessly.
