Rapid Prototyping Made Easy
Altium's Innovation Station Videos Demonstrate New Approach to Electronics Design
Font Scale: 
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/08/08 -- Altium Limited, the world's leadingdeveloper of unified electronic product development solutions, has releaseda series of new online training videos that help engineers, regardless ofexperience, harness the power of programmable logic to explore concepts anddevelop next-generation electronic designs using Altium's InnovationStation -- the world's most reconfigurable development system.
The videos, available in Altium's TRAININGcenter, provide detailedinstructions on how electronics designers can explore concepts, rapidlyprototype, and experiment with various device options using Altium'sInnovation Station. They show engineers how easy it is to capture theirideas and implement them through real LiveDesign experimentation.
With the Altium Innovation Station, Altium provides a complete productdevelopment environment with all the software and hardware a designer needsto develop their next-generation electronic products. Using this approach,engineers can simply snap together a complete system using blocks ofreusable IP, so that they can quickly and easily move to developing theproduct's unique functional intelligence. The result: more designpossibilities, without the constraints of fixed hardware.
Jhury Abuabara, CEO of Readix Inc., said, "We have been using Altium'ssolution for five years, and we're very happy with how Altium lets uscreate next-generation electronic solutions. Over the past five years wehave created more than 500 products and solutions for customers in variousindustries. The modularity of Altium's Desktop NanoBoard and itsre-configurability coupled with Altium's OpenBus feature lets us test newconcepts very quickly. We can configure and then reconfigure designs inminutes rather than days. It is such an easy way to compare designs andmake quick design decisions."
"Altium provides everything out of the box, including comprehensivecomplimentary online training, so that those designing next-generationelectronic products can really get up to speed and start designingimmediately," said Altium's President, Emma Lo Russo. "These new videosreflect our vision of removing the barriers to design exploration andimplementation that are caused by yesterday's single point solutionapproach. Altium's Innovation Station, a unified electronics design system,helps designers focus more on the differentiating aspects of design bymaking it easy to explore new concepts and when ready take that to a customPCB design implementation easily within a single application."
The Altium Innovation Station has recently been added to the Digi-Keyproduct range as part of a distribution agreement (announced September 9,2008). Altium products stocked by Digi-Key are featured in its print andonline catalogs and are available for immediate purchase directly fromDigi-Key.
