Topic: Solving Common Microcontroller Problems Quickly with Anewin's New MicroBench MB-500 Test Tool Speaker(s): Mike Hagen, Anewin

When working with microcontrollers, certain types of problems arise frequently and are time-consuming to find. With these in mind, Anewin designed the MicroBench MB-500 especially for embedded and digital engineers. This presentation will review such problems, the frustrations experienced in trying to find and solve them with traditional test tools, and show how the MicroBench MB-500 solves them quickly and easily.
