Bells Palm OS
Bells Softech

• Display format conversion class
• This system takes input data from the PLC, which
  is connected through serial port. It converts
  these data to a string as per IEEE 754 format
  (only for Real and Scientific notation) or BINARY
  format or ASCII format and display the converted
  string in a palm device
•  
• PDA Inventory Application.
• The requirement was for user to collect data from
  the field place using HH and transfer data to the
  remote database. The Main objective of this
  system is to sync (full duplex) a database
  between a handheld and a PC (SQL SERVER).
•  
• We have designed and developing a MFC conduit
  (dll) using Palm OS CDK toolkit.
•  
• Developing a front end in Palm OS to edit, view
  and delete records in handheld database.
•  
• Logic Developer PDA (LDPDA)
• This application is developed to handle PLC data
  in the Palm Handheld.
• LDPDA handles data from various Process Control
  applications like PROCESS 90, Logicmaster and
  CIMPLICITY. These applications get data from the
  PLC unit and write it in the SNF (Shared Name
  File). SNF format is an extension of the
  industry-standard Comma Separated Variable (CSV)
  format.
•  
• Impact 'S-type' link
• This project is to achieve a data link between a
  PalmOS and Impact's link interface computer on CD
  Net 2. The Palm OS can send and receive messages
  to and from the Impact Moisture, Caliper,
  Weight systems through a single link interface.
  For sending and receiving we are using the IPMACT
  systems handshaking protocol.

Bells RTOS
Bells Softech
RTOS ENHANCEMENTS FOR AN US BASED RTOS
COMPANY The RTOS has been designed to co-exist
with various versions of Windows Oses. This
provides the required RTOS capability to windows
platforms. Bells had carried out various
enhancements to this RTOS. 1. Porting of
TCP/IP onto the customers RTOS 2. Porting of
RTOS onto different service packs of NT/win
2000 3. Porting of RTOS onto Windows XP 4.
Development of ODI driver on RTOS- The RTOS did
not have support to DMA devices. Bells developed
a driver with this support for Intelpro100
ethernet card on PCI bus. 5. Ported NE2000
driver from DOS to RTOS.

Bells Embedded Systems
Bells Softech

• High Speed Protocol Conversion for flight
  testing
• Data from cockpit on four channels are combined
  on a predetermined format and are sent out as
  two-biphasic signal for recording, replaying and
  future analysis.
•  
• Speed and Altitude Monitoring for unmanned
  aircraft
• Two non linear analog signals, one for Altitude
  and the other one for Speed are linearised and
  retransmitted as analog signals to the cockpit
  controller for recording, indication and control.
  The module, which uses this software, is used in
  an unmanned aircraft.
•  
• Precision Measurement Image Processing
• This is a PC based precision measuring software
  tool used in Standard precision tool rooms. This
  receives the displacement in x and y-axis in the
  form of pulses from the job table through the
  glass scales. This s/w performs lots of
  trigonometric operations on the inputs provided
  to measure the dimensions of the jobs accurately
  to the precision of 1.0 micron or 0.1 micron. The
  s/w has also graphics features and will also
  generate suitable files for AutoCAD or CNC.
•  
• Distributed Data Acquisition system
• This PCbased front-end software acquires data
  through a PCI module. The handshaking and data
  transfer between the module and the CPU takes
  place through a dual port memory. The data is
  collected at regular interval through the
  interrupt and stored in database. The software
  also provides MMI, setup features for each
  channel, alarm setting, display and graphical
  representation of continuously varying parameters
  and report generation.
• Auto do outer ball groove classifier
•  This is an integrated setup consisting of an
  Industrial PC, Stepper motor drive, stepper
  motor, six LVDT probes along with the driver
  modules, proximity switches and a control panel
  assembly. The application was developed using VB
  6.0 with MS ACCESS as the back end. This
  application will run on win 9x or NT Platforms
• Error proofing based on vision technology
•  This application is also for an automotive
  parts manufacturing company. This consists of
  digital cameras, frame Grabber modules and
  mechanical setup with necessary lighting
  arrangement. The software tools used are LAB
  WINDOWS and IMAQ VISION.

Configuration editor. The configuration editor
(used to configure display panels through RS-232
port) was converted from 16-bit version(
developed using version 1.5 of VC) to a 32-bit
version. Though porting the code on to 32 bit was
one of the options, based on clients needs the
s/w was rewritten. The 32-bit was be developed in
VB(Visual Basic) and VC.

• 2 Payload checkout software
•  
• The software works on Unix systems. The same was
  rewritten to function on NT systems. The package
  helps evaluate the performance of Remote Sensing
  Payloads of a satellite and the user has the
  flexibility of adding and configuring any new
  remote sensing payloads by properly defining the
  required parameters as databases.
•  
• The main functions of software was
• Data Processing, which includes auxiliary and
  video data collected by the special hardware for
  remote sensing payloads.
• Generation on the processed data.
• Presentation of processed data and results in a
  graphical manner.
• Batch processing of various utilities to reduce
  user interaction.
• Archiving and retrieving of payload data for
  future
