How we
Work
|
When you contact Culverson Software, we will arrange an in-depth discussion of how you want your application to work. This discussion will include:
- What platform(s) your new program(s) will run on.
Culverson Software makes applications to run on Mac OS, Windows 2000/XP, Linux, and embedded microprocessors.
- What input data you have available.
Measurements, estimates, pressure, displacement, vibration, temperature, images, sound...
- In what form is this data available.
Transducers, hand-entered, serial ports, data files, Internet communication, picture files, cameras...
- How we get from input to output.
Equations, formulas, algorithms, look-up tables...
- What other constraints are there.
Real-time, high-speed, high-resolution, small size...
- What data files need to be stored.
Configuration files, input files, output files...
- What other output is required.
Sound, analog waveforms, control signals...
After this discussion is complete, we will study this description and generate a contract (for larger projects) or a work order. That work order will be a summary of our discussion and will include a description of the work to be done, the agreed schedule and cost estimates and any other pertinent details. At that point, you will be given an unguessable URL on our web server, a project page will be set up, and the work order will be available for download. That work order should be downloaded, reviewed, printed, and signed, and faxed or mailed back to Culverson Software. Subsequently, all your project work will be available to you though that project page. For example, you might access
http://www.Culverson.com/AI0102DF5672sn89/
That ensures that only you (and the people you choose to give this URL to) can access your work. A status report will be on that page, as well as links to download any preliminary (beta) versions that are available. You can download these versions at any time, as many times as you require. An e-mail will be sent when a new version is posted. Please note that this URL will be case-sensitive.
