High-accuracy analog design
Digital design

Instrumentation and Measurement help when the standard equipment, procedures, or computer programs won't do. Forty-five years experience developing measurement techniques and new instruments (including computer programming from assembler to LabVIEW) for fields as wide-ranging as ultrasonics, calorimetry, spectroscopy, image analysis, simulation, mechanical metrology, and optics. You especially need SULLutions "...when a single discipline is not enough." Who else would think of solving an image processing problem with a soapdish?
