Each year, Test & Measurement World's technical editors present the Best in Test awards to products they think are particularly innovative or useful. Tidal Engineering has won several of these distinguished awards over the years. Here is a list of some of our fine award winning products.

Test of Time 2012
Finalist

Tidal Engineering's Synergy Controller family were finalists for the 2012 Test of Time Award! This prestigious award honors a product that continues to provide state-of-the-art performance at least five years after its introduction and to represent a significant advancement in the test, measurement and inspection field.

Introduced in 2000 and a "Best in Test Award" winner in 2001, the Synergy environmental test chamber controller was designed to help users develop, instrument, control, and document their environmental testing processes. At the time of it's introduction under the VersaTenn V brand, the Synergy Controller provided a unique set of features including a user friendly GUI, multiple communication interfaces including GPIB, Ethernet, and RS-232 and other innovations including a 64-Channel data logger with USB Memory stick support, and a built-in web-server for remote monitoring and control.

Now in its fifth generation, Synergy Controllers are currently available in several configurations including the Synergy Nano, a compact 1/4 DIN sized package that's 1/20th of the original controller's volume.

The software has also been incrementally and continuously improved and now offers bar code reader support for simple setup and configuration, an FTP server for data and program transfer, and SMTP support for automatic alarm notification e-mails and test data delivery.
