Baker Universal 2010
The BU2010 is an electronic balance that is used in the pharmaceutical industry to weigh/count pills and performs RX Check on scanned prescription and stock bottle barcodes. This project involved solving a memory corruption issue in the BU2010 firmware and updating the firmware with new functionality. Software development for the BU2010 included data acquisition with a barcode scanner, manipulation of scanned data, handling of the BU2010 piece weight database and communication with the BU2010 through a RS-232 interface. The software was developed in ANSI C and assembly language and uses an Atmel AT89C52 in the 8051 microcontroller family.

Silent Sentinel
The Silent Sentinel application allows users to easily track personnel and assets on site and remotely via a Windows CE Husky Unit. In order for users to be able to track students or assets a "tag" must be located on the individual or asset. These "tags" are read-in from hardware devices located in the rooms. Once a "tag" is read-in by the hardware device, a wireless transfer of data occurs from the device in the room, to the Silent Sentinel server. The program then parses the data received and is able to update where the personnel or asset is now located. The user will be able to view a history of where personnel or assets have been, and be able to see what is currently taking place via the map. During emergency type situations the Windows CE Husky unit will allow users and/or medical help to monitor movement inside building(s), as well as give them specific information for any individual or asset in the system.

VITAL
Vital is an application for managing an accident scene for emergency personnel. The system has 3 distinct components: There is a main database to store information collected at an accident site which resides on a laptop and serves as the command center for the site. The Vital Server Application is responsible for receiving victim ID codes received from handheld scanner devices used by emergency personnel to collect victim data after applying identification tags. The Vital CE Application (the Client) is the main component of Vital and allows users to view and record victim information (personal information, vital signs, treatment and logistical data, etc.) and to view site statistical information. The client resides on individual handheld CE devices that are positioned at various designated areas (“zones”) at the accident site.

The Shaw Group
Handheld Tracking Project
Working under the constraints of limited program memory, Antares developed an object-oriented application in C++ for the Dolphin Single-Handed Pocket-Size Laser Scanner from Handheld Products. Shaw uses the program for quality control purposes, which has improved accuracy and efficiency of internal tracking of pipes in their manufacturing shop. As the scanner reads various label types on the pipes for tracking order and production status; the application performs data validation; error checking and stores information for upload to their main computer.

PSION Handheld QC Project
Developed a complete software package in C with a special library for a handheld device that would be used for quality control purposes. Developed several install scripts using InstallShield and Wise Install and C DLLs to perform installs of the software developed.

Dynatech Precision Sampling
Dynaworks Windows Software
Antares developed a Windows based C program using the MDI architecture to handle sending commands through up to 4 RS-232 ports for controlling their Dyna Series Auto Sampler. This program offers the user a Windows control panel or scheduler to control the sampling methods and devices rather than using the onboard keypad located on the sampling equipment.

Dynatech Precision Sampling
Embedded Systems
This project involved customizing and updating the software of a specialized embedded system, based on Motorola 68HC11 and Hitachi 6301 micro-controllers. Software development for the system (which is designed to test air, water and soil samples) included code for communications, low-level hardware control, interrupt service routines, Flash EPROM programming, self-tests, and many enhancements to the original product. This software was developed in both C and Assembler languages.
