Miniature Automation Controller Market Need Advantages and Key Features • Automated testing is severely behind the curve within certain disciplines of EW testing • Test devices were never intended to be automated • The MAC brings automation capabilities to these disciplines • Currently available automation controllers cost thousands of dollars and require modifications • The MAC can be fabricated with less than $100 in parts • Using the standard GUI, the transmit interval can be set, the device run for extended periods of time, and/or a specific number of transmit attempts can be made • Can also be used with MATLAB and Lab. VIEW VI’s • The MAC sample rate is 10 ms, but receiver response signals between 50 ns and 10 ms are captured Technology Overview Miniature Automation Controller • Designed specifically to work with commercial radio frequency devices that are not designed to interface with a computer • Provides a bridge to control a device (such as hand held radios, key fobs, etc) that was never intended to be computer controlled User Interface The MAC Next Steps • US Patent Application No. 14/484, 608 • US Patent No. 9, 874, 858 • Issued January 2018 • D.
