Low-cost input-output devices

The Computer Monitoring Systems Department (Donetsk National Technical University) developed stationary system for environmental and atmospheric monitoring. And Department developed the connection of laboratory instruments to a PC. Most of inexpensive gas analyzers, chromatographs, atmospheric sensors and other measuring equipment are equipped with analog outputs. However, ADCs with computer interfaces are expensive. Therefore, the Department has developed low-cost input-output devices that may be of interest to any organizations operating with monitoring and control.
RS-232 oscilloscope
1 channel, the frequency of digitization - 14.4 kHz. Digitalcity - 8 bits. Measurement range: 0 .. + 5V. The driver is a self-propagating distributive with the NI LabVIEW virtual machine. The software contains the following functions:
1) RS-232 port setup;
2) waveform display;
5) scrolling and increasing graphics;
3) software synchronization;
4) manual software calibration data;
6) save the waveform to a file format *.txt and *.xls.
7) basic mathematical analysis: search for maximum, minimum, average.
Parallel interface Oscilloscope
2 channels, max digitization frequency- 1 MHz. Digitalcity - 8 bits. Measurement range: 0 .. + 5V. The driver is a self-extracting distributiv with the NI Lab-VIEW virtual machine. The software contains the following functions:
1) setting the port address;
2) waveform display;
3) software synchronization;
4) manual software calibration data;
5) scrolling and increasing graphics;
6) save the waveform to a file format *.txt and *.xls.
7) basic mathematical analysis: search for maximum, minimum, average.
Oscilloscope with usb interface
1 channel or 2 channels, max digitization frequency - 57.6 kHz. Digitalcity - 8 bits. Measurement range: 0 .. + 5V. The driver is a self-extracting distribution with the NI LabVIEW virtual machine. The software contains the following functions:

Starting Work at ITMO University

 On the recommendation of colleagues from DevelopLabs , I accepted the offer to teach at ITMO University. Link to my page. I will be teaching computer networks, protocols, IoT, and machine vision. ITMO University is a leading Russian university specializing in information technology, photonics, robotics, and other high-tech fields. Founded in 1900 in St. Petersburg, the university is among the top technical universities in Russia and worldwide. In the QS World University Rankings 2024 , ITMO is ranked in the top 400 , and in the Computer Science & Information Systems category, it is among the top 100 . The university is also renowned for its victories in international programming competitions (ICPC), where it has repeatedly become the world champion. According to the updated QS World University Rankings , ITMO University has maintained its position for the second year in a row and ranks second among Russian universities in computer science .

Leaving ViTec Co., Ltd

 Unfortunately, after certain political events, the decision was made to move forward. I am immensely grateful to the company ViTec Co., Ltd for the opportunity and to my colleagues for their support. I am especially thankful to the owner and director, Maxim Soroka, for everything he has done for me. At the company, I worked with machine vision. Since I signed a non-disclosure agreement, I can only share a couple of photos. It was a wonderful experience, and I will never forget it.

Starting Work at Nevsky Institute of Design

At the request of my wife, a teacher of graphic design at Nevsky Institute of Design , I began to teach Computer Technologies to designers at Nevsky Institute of Design.  Limk to lectors page. I began to teach the following software products: Adobe InDesign - for graphic design students; Adobe Premiere Pro and MOHO Animation Pro - for multimedia design students; Trimble SketchUp - for landscape design students. The Nevsky Institute of Design is the most respected private design university in St. Petersburg , the cultural and artistic capital of the Russian Federation. Recently, the Nevsky Institute of Design became a structural unit of University at the IPA EurAsEC . This university plays a significant role in organizing network cooperation among leading universities in the Eurasian region .
