Fond\u00e9e en 2008 par Dr. Bruno Paillard, Convergence Instruments est un cr\u00e9ateur et producteur mondial de solutions d’acquisition et d’analyse de donn\u00e9es<\/a>. Nous concevons et fabricons des dataloggers miniatures aux fonctions avanc\u00e9es avec We design and manufacture small but powerful data loggers with embedded acoustic measurement<\/a>, temperature measurement<\/a>, motion sensor<\/a>, and vibration measurement<\/a> capabilities for both the consumer market and a wide variety of commercial\/professional OEM markets. All current Convergence Instruments\u2019 data logging instruments have LabVIEWTM<\/sup> drivers and\/or data management\/analysis software<\/a> available for download free<\/a> of charge. In addition to the data loggers<\/a> shown here on our website, we also offer design of custom instruments for specific individual customer needs. Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us<\/a> if you have a special requirement that\u2019s not covered by our standard designs or not available elsewhere on the market. We thrive on finding solutions to difficult challenges.<\/p>\n

Bruno Paillard, Ph.D., Chief Designer<\/h2>\n

Dr. Bruno Paillard is Convergence Instruments\u2019 co-founder and chief engineer and is responsible for all of our innovative, leading-edge product designs. He completed his initial training as an electronics technician at IUT-Le Creusot (France) in 1982 and received his BS in Electrical Engineering from INSA-Lyon (France) in 1985. He received his Masters Degree and Ph.D. in Digital Signal Processing from Universite de Sherbrooke (Canada), completing the latter in 1992. His doctoral dissertation focused on the emerging fields of auditory modeling and perceptual coding of music. From 1993 to 2003 he was a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Universite de Sherbrooke, where he taught classes on embedded systems and did advanced research on adaptive filtering and active control of acoustical and vibrational processes. His research work led to several groundbreaking applications and technology transfers, including the world\u2019s first multi-channel active noise cancellation system in an industrial exhaust stack. In 1998, while still working at Universite de Sherbrooke, he began consulting for D-BOX Technologies (Canada), who were developing the world\u2019s first motion simulation system for home theater applications. He was Director of Research and Development for D-BOX from 2004 to 2008 and while there developed their unique vibro-kinetic technologies. In particular, he was responsible for the hardware and software designs of their DSP systems, including breakthrough designs for their proprietary electro-mechanical motion actuators and computer-based motion controllers. His work at D-BOX contributed greatly to their being awarded over half a dozen patents for their motion simulation systems and technologies.<\/p>\n

Design Philosophy<\/h2>\n

Convergence Instruments employs an innovative, proprietary interface known as DDCI<\/a> (Development to Deployment Code Instrumentation) that significantly reduces development time and provides for more reliable and efficient instruments at affordable pricing. Our Sentry Series\u2019 data loggers<\/a> feature high levels of measurement accuracy and flexibility, are extremely configurable easy to use and share a common minimalist design philosophy:<\/p>\n
