Quanser develops high end electronic boards with the assistance of the CADSTAR package. All our electronic products such as the Q8 and Q4 data acquisition boards, the QIC, QET and the Mobile Robot Control Platform are fully designed using the CADSTAR tools. These easy-to-learn, ready-to-use products give you maximum flexibility to develop your own EDA environment, right on your own PC. CADSTAR has been developed to take full advantage of the Windows operating system and its inherent benefits, such as the multiple document interface (MDI), object linking and embedding (OLE) and the intuitive Windows graphical user interface (GUI). This combination results in a CAD system which is easy to learn and use, and which is consistent with other complimentary applications.

Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) is one of Sweden's largest higher educational institutes for the engineering sciences. LTH is the engineering faculty of Lund University, one of the oldest and largest in Scandinavia. LTH partnered with Quanser to provide and adapt a dual tank process originally designed by Rolf Braun, Ann-Britt Ostberg and Dr. Karl Åström. In cooperation with the originators, Quanser has adapted the design to produce a commercially viable product for universities to integrate into control curriculum around the world. Although originally designed for undergraduate controls education Dr. Karl Johansson demonstrated in his thesis that two Coupled Tanks can be combined to make an interesting MIMO process whose behavior can easily be switched between a minimum phase and a no minimum phase configuration. The coupled tank can thus accommodate graduate courses as well as research projects. Dr Karl Johansson is now at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm where the Quanser tanks and associated hardware are regularly used in their control courses.
