Custom application development and consulting services.
Benefit from our 25+ years experience in the development
of Hardware, Device Driver and
Test & Measurement (GPIB/DAQ) applications for all major operating systems and programming languages on the market.

A custom design from Elan and HACKER-Datentechnik could be the answer if you can not find an off the shelf hardware or software solution!

We provide a complete range of services to assist with new PCMCIA and Compact Flash cards, PCI board designs, system and software applications including Device Driver development under Windows, CE, PocketPC, Linux and Real Time Operating Systems too.

Elan Digital Systems and HACKER-Datentechnik undertakes full management responsibilities for design and development projects, hardware and software including device driver designs, in light industrial applications principally related to real time electronics environments.
