Tool intercommunicability on magnetic sensor research and development context

Abstract

The investigation of new principles, technologies and applications in the context of magnetic sensors require a set of aiding tools in order be able to bring ideas out of paper, perform proofs of concept, generate data and cross check information from all steps. Each of these tools alone already show the importance of computability in modern research, but even more powerful is the ability of information exchange within such tools without too much effort. Therefore a set of equipment and software has been developed and integrated in a way that the inputs and outputs look similar enough that experiments can be equally reproduced numerically, through simulations or on experimental test benches. Its outputs are then fed to a common point where all data can be analyzed. This system intercommunicability is key for speeding up the achievement of results and shows the relevance of computational aid on the development of new technologies and applications.
