1394 Trade Association Publishes New Technical Papers about FireWire’s Use in Security Camera Designs and Industrial Monitoring Applications

The 1394 Trade Association has published a pair of new technical articles detailing innovative applications of the 1394 (FireWire) standard in security camera designs, and in systems used to measure the operating condition of industrial equipment such as wind turbines.

Both new articles were developed by Burke Henehan, a former Texas Instruments Corporation engineer and veteran of FireWire applications development.

The article entitled “FireWire Makes a Move,” shows how 1394-based security imaging designs deliver significant benefits in efficiency and cost savings. It can be found on the Advanced Imaging Pro Magazine website.

The article is also on the 1394 Trade Association website.

The new article entitled “Of Windmills and Recording Studios” focuses on how a 1394-based industrial monitoring system can help engineers “listen” to wind turbines or other equipment to evaluate their performance.  It is on the GreenSupplyLine.com site managed by Electronic Engineering Times magazine.

The article can be found on the 1394 Trade Association site.
