Most companies will be familiar with the tried and tested method of managing workload with a manual T Card Board. The visual, tangible nature of the system is ideal for managing Heath & Safety tasks. Having such a low cost, efficient, method of workflow is often a vital cog in the running of a successful business or department. T Cards Direct have supplied and designed manual T Cards for over 60 years, and have developed an online version that mirrors the simplicity of the manual boards. This can be shown on large screens and desktops simultaneously giving users the most up to date information. The last 8 years has seen many additional features and developments, often at the request of clients. Attaching files, creating alarms, task allocation, activity review and analysis have all been made easier with recent updates. T Cards Online can also be integrated with other software packages using the Rest API, so tasks can be created and updated automatically. This avoids duplication but provides so much more useful visual information. Now the mobile APP has arrived to make it easier for users, not necessarily office based, to keep tack and update workflow. “As a well-established company we have always strived to provide cost effective solutions for our clients. The T Cards APP is just another demonstration of this. The manual T Boards are still a very popular option for businesses and I think there will always be a requirement for them as a “GoTo” board. However, the T Cards Online system with the new APP offers this and a lot more. Clients often need a more dynamic option to help co-ordinate tasks and control workflow. We regularly get complemented on how easy and simple the system is to setup and use. Being able to access the same T Boards from different locations will be a great advantage whether on site, in the office or in transit.” Setup and Configuration is done from the main licence on the website. The App can then be downloaded via user login details with a unique QR code. Any future changes on the APP are then simultaneously updated to the main licence for anyone to see. The full, no obligation, free 21 day trial is a great way to demo and get the system formatted to reflect clients requirements. Licences are available from as little as £5.00 per month + VAT. The App will be available from October 2018.

NEX[DAQ] is the flexible “everyday tool” for all test and validation engineers and troubleshooters. Small, compact and very rugged: the 8-channel NEX[DAQ] with analog, universal inputs and a great price-performance ratio. When connected to the USB-C or Ethernet interface of any computer, the NEX[DAQ] becomes a powerful measurement system for analog, digital, counter and CAN-bus data acquisition. The included measurement software OXYGEN ensures easy and quick setup of the NEX[DAQ]. Just plug & play to start the gapless data recording. Customise the software according to your measurement tasks by defining different screens and views. OXYGEN offers many standard features such as FFT analysis, visualization, analysis & post-processing, triggers, events, math, calculation, creation of meaningful reports (e.g. as PDF) and advanced features such as order or power analysis, efficiency maps, swept sine analysis, etc. The NEX[DAQ] data acquisition system is distributable. If 8 channels are not enough, multiple NEX[DAQ] units can be daisy-chained to a multi-channel system at any time. A single cable is sufficient for data transfer and synchronization via Ethernet PTP/IEEE1588.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)Batteries are the rechargeable alternative to common primary cells with stable voltage. NiMH batteries are widely used in the usual types of standard batteries. They can therefore generally replace the conventional alkaline batteries in household devices as a rechargeable alternative. Despite the slightly lower voltage, the NiMH battery can achieve longer run times especially under high loads, since the voltage remains very stable. Typical applications are therefore usually high-powered devices, such as digital cameras, toys, and of course cordless phones. The other rechargeable system of nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries can be replaced as well. Advantages over nickel-cadmium batteries which are no longer available over the counter are the lack of toxic cadmium, a higher energy density, and the non-existent memory effect. Disadvantages are the lower overcharging resistance, a higher internal resistance, and a smaller temperature range.
