DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Xecon Associates performs consulting engineering services in the area of electronic systems analysis, design and development. Our principal expertise is in the area of electronic digital systems with emphasis on real-time embedded processors, special purpose computers, controllers and signal processors. We also have considerable experience in the design of fault tolerant architectures. We can take your application from the early conceptual stage through systems analysis, hardware, firmware, and software design, to engineering prototype construction. Our expertise spans the range from single element control and communication devices to large scale systems engineering projects. Our people have been instrumental in the principal architectural configuration and design of several large scale spacecraft and avionic payloads. We have also been responsible for the design of devices as simple as set-top TV control boxes.

Every Xecon project begins with a detailed examination of the system requirements. This is referred to as Systems Analysis. On simple projects this evaluation can often be done in as little time as one day. However, most complex projects and all major system engineering jobs necessitate the expenditure of a considerable amount of time in this analysis phase. Failure to perform a thorough and in-depth review of the project at this juncture will either cause the project to fail, or to be chronologically delayed with unanticipated budget overruns.

Although Xecon is primarily a systems engineering and hardware design organization we also do a certain amount of software development for scientific and business applications. Some of our PC based software programs include: Pro-Chart Analyst for the technical analysis and charting of stock and financial data, Star Trac a telescope drive control program, and Astro-Imaging Analyst for the analysis and processing of Astronomical Images.
