The DashDAQ Series II is a Linux Platform running an ARM9 processor. When you purchase a DashDAQ, it includes GUI software written by Drew Technologies that allows the user to create digital gauges, perform diagnostics, log data, and more. A DashDAQ purchase also includes technical support for operating the included GUI software.

DashDAQ can also be used as a hardware platform for developers that want to write their own software. Because of it's built in vehicle communications hardware, form factor, and temperature range, it is a unique platform for developers. Drew Technologies does not provide free technical support for individual developers writing their own Linux programs, but you can sign up for access to the developer's forums by registering at http://www.dashdaq.com/phpbb

Drew Technologies does offer development services and support contracts for companies that plan to use DashDAQ for commercial projects. Please email bherron@drewtech.com for more information.
