Friday 13th. Unlucky for some?

Paraskevidekatriaphobia, or the morbid, irrational fear of Friday 13th, affects as many as 21 million people across the world. Fortunately the fear of a date, and it's lucky or unlucky effect, doesn't affect educated, sophisticated business professionals.
. . . . . . Or does it?


Not at Sarsen Technology! Friday 13th July is the day that culminates a great week for the team. And there's not a black cat in sight!

This week we have had the pleasure of hosting Dwight Justice - VP Sales at Trenton Technology. We have taken him all over the country, talking to customers about the fantastic Trenton product range. We've spoken to a range of markets, including Communications, Displays, High Speed Finance and Military. Trenton have released some brand new products, check them out here - Newsletter.


It's the Marlborough Jazz Festival this weekend. It kicks off tonight with performances from the fantastically named The Filthy Six, and Brewin Dolphin Newcomer nominee the Jessica Mary York Quintet. Saturday sees performances from a Sarsen Technology favourite Eduardo Niebla Trio, and The Jive Aces, fresh from the finals of Britains Got Talent. You can buy tickets here - Tickets

With another full week of appointments coming up, we are all looking forward to a well deserved rest this weekend.


Have a good one!

7 Reasons to Choose United Electronic Industries for all your Data Acquisition and Control Requirements......


Founded in 1990, United Electronic Industries (UEI) is a leader in the PC/Ethernet data acquisition and control, Data Logger/Recorder and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) markets. Their ‘Cube’ chassis offers incredible I/O flexibility, accommodating up to 6 I/O boards from a selection of over 25. Sarsen Technology has represented UEI in the UK for nearly 2 years.

There are so many reasons why you would benefit from choosing a UEI solution; these are just a handful….

1.       They get around….
UEI products are used in a huge variety of applications, including Simulator I/O, in-vehicle test (flight and ground), UAV/ULV/USV control, electronic production test, machine and vehicle health monitoring, temperature monitoring, wind power system control, vehicle frame stress testing, jet engine test and much more. Whether your application is on the ocean floor, on land or boat, in the air, or in space, UEI products have been there!

2.       Thinking outside the ‘Cube’
UEI have over 25 different available I/O layers, as well as a host of other boards and accessories, meaning they can be creative in finding innovative solutions for customers, responding to their needs with standard products and variations so they can complete their systems successfully, on time, and within budget. UEI offers both COTS and custom products to OEMs, end-users, and systems integrators worldwide.

3.       Green is the new Black
All Cube and RACKtangle™ chassis products and accessories are fully RoHS Compliant. This includes all UEI products that begin with: DNA, DNR, UEIPAC, UEISIM or UEILOGGER, including all chassis, I/O boards and accessories.

4.       Speaking your language
UEI supports all popular Windows, Vista, Linux and Real-time operating systems, programming languages, and application packages such as LabVIEW, MATLAB, and DASYLab.

5.       Location, Location, Location
United Electronic Industries is represented in nearly all of the US States, as well as across the globe, as far as Australia and Japan. We are all eager to talk to you, and help you put together an ideal solution to match your application.

6.       Bend Me, Shape Me, Any Way You Want Me
The UEI cube is not in any way bendy. In fact it’s very rugged! But it is uniquely flexible, with the ability to be used as an Ethernet I/O slave, standalone data logger, a standalone Linux-based PAC or a Modbus Slave. With I/O interfaces for analog I/O, digital I/O, counter/timer, ARINC-429, quadrature encoder, CAN-bus, serial I/O and more, you can precisely match the I/O configuration to your application.

7.       They’re in it for the Long Haul
All hardware manufactured by UEI is warranted for 2 years to the original purchaser and UEI guarantees the availability of all RACKtangle/Cube series products for a minimum of 10 years. 

If this hasn’t convinced you, give us a call or check out the UEI pages on our website for more information. http://www.sarsen.net/dept/united-electronic-industries_d0141.htm
