PC-compatible
work-stations with a complete suite of CAD/CAM, engineering design and
documentation tools are significant contributors to the productivity and
quality standards that are a trademark of CIE CAD-generated block diagrams,
mechanical drawings and schematics which are used throughout to facilitate
comprehension of design concepts. CAD is used in all design phases for
increased efficiency and accuracy, from the original concept to the
production manufacturing. The use of automated tools provides for increased
productivity and eliminates many possibilities for error.
Software development activities are supported by an extensive set of
software development tools for microcomputers and embedded applications
using IBM-PC compatible platforms. Application programs are developed using
a structured top-down approach. The various software components are then
carefully integrated and thoroughly tested; the systems capabilities are
fully exercised and demonstrated in simulated and real conditions.
The hardware development laboratory is fully equipped to support analog, RF,
discrete digital and microprocessor design. A complete set of CAD/CAM tools
is available to support ASIC applications and programmable components.
CIE maintains a complete technical library with an extensive collection of
technical literature from most electronic hardware vendors, software
references and a substantial assortment of commercial and government
specifications.
A mechanical workshop is available to provide assistance in the prototype
development process. The purchasing department has established an extensive
vendor pool which supports this quick reaction capability at competitive
costs. CIE has been recognized for the quality of documentation provided to
its customers, with a track record of clear, concise and complete
documentation packages.
