We just got back from a blistering hot Phoenix, Arizona where the evening temperatures hovered above 110 degrees! Fortunately, we spent the days sheltered from the heat at the 15th annual Microchip MASTERs conference. It was an exciting show filled with four days of technical sessions and booth exhibits. We had our booth set up in the exhibit hall again this year and it was great to see many of our customers at the conference. Many of the attendees had either heard of us or already use our tools. We really enjoyed hearing about the various applications that are being developed and debugged with our tools. Our customers are working on a huge variety projects ranging from computer scanners to medical diagnostic devices to unmanned military vehicles.

Conference attendees also had the opportunity to work directly the Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer in one of the USB classes hosted by Microchip. The session entitled “USB: Bridging the Gap Between a PC Application and an End Device,” allowed participants to use the Beagle USB 480 analyzer to monitor the transfer of data between a host and device.

We also had a large amount of interest in the recently released Komodo CAN Duo Interface. Many of the people we saw at the show had been eagerly anticipating the release of this product and were excited to add another Total Phase device to their toolkit.
