Our relationship with Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Excellence (CU-ICAR) has been extremely beneficial for conducting testing for electromagnetic interference (EMI) to ensure products will not interfere with other equipment in use nearby. The advanced, highly accurate instruments available through CU-ICAR allow this testing to be done quickly to support rapid product development.

A new, enhanced version of Sealevel’s SeaLINK software, supporting the Sealevel family of Ethernet to serial devices, has been released. The SeaLINK V5 driver for Microsoft Windows has been rewritten from the ground up to provide increased throughput, improved security features, additional diagnostic capabilities, and support for new SeaLINK serial devices launching this year.
Every application is different, and certain applications need a product to be customized to fit particular needs, or even designed from the ground up in some cases. We recognize the benefits a custom design offers, and over the past 25 years, we’ve responded to our customers’ requests with innovative, well-engineered solutions.
Though we are a product company, Sealevel has adapted in such a way as to be able to meet the needs of a customer for a product that is more specialized than what we are currently offering while continuing to advance our standard product offerings. To achieve this we borrow techniques of reuse from software development methodologies and apply them to the development of hardware solutions. We have designed many of our products with customer specific specialization in mind.
I’m excited to announce the latest major expansion to the Sealevel website, the Custom Solutions portal. This newly expanded section, divided into three main categories, provides you with more information on how Sealevel can assist in your design process to provide the best product design for your needs.
Debates have raged over whether defragmenting a solid state drive is beneficial, necessary, or even detrimental to the drive. Originally, defragmentation was thought to be detrimental to the drive because of the limited number of erase-write cycles. Defragmentation is also thought to be unnecessary due to the nature of a hard drive versus a solid state drive. In a hard drive, most of the time spent when retrieving a piece of information comes from seeking. As the drive fills up, and files are moved, deleted, and created, fragmentation occurs. This causes file reads to require multiple seeks to obtain an entire file, greatly reducing performance of a hard drive over time.
Virtual Event Spotlights Custom Capabilities in Military Applications
Learn more about Sealevel’s custom capabilities for military and government applications on October 7, 2010. Marc Foster, director of government sales, will introduce you to several of Sealevel’s custom products and discuss how these products are currently being used in MIL-STD applications. Electrical design, mechanical design, compliance testing, environmental stress screening and volume capabilities are just a few of the topics included in this webinar.
